Over the last three years my mountain neighborhood in zone 6b exploded with Dogwoods growing along the road and 300-500' into the wood line. I was lucky to have one wild Dogwood pop up on my property now it's the showcase of all my trees and plants with it's early spring bloom bringing much needed color to the forest. Time to start taking cuttings from the dogwoods to get more growing on my property.
I just collected a bunch of wild seeds. The plan is to start a few in pots, and direct sow a few more along my woods. We’ll see how it work out 🤞
Great tree for all four seasons!❤
Thank you so much for this valuable information!! This really helps!!!
Thank you so much. We just received 3 bare root White Flowering Dogwoods. Thanks to you, I now know my inclination to put them in the NW corner of our property is confirmed.
Awesome. Good luck with them.
A+ information.Thanks!
I had read dogwoods like lots of water, so I was about to plant one in a low spot in my yard that collects water. Since you said they need to dry out in between rains I probably won’t now. The area only gets really wet when there is a lot of rain like hurricane Michael going through last week. Now I’ll plant one somewhere else in my yard.
Dope! Video... learned alot.
I got the exact information I was looking for. I have an always wet area I’m trying to fill with trees. This video explained to me that I probably shouldn’t try planting the free white flowering dogwood The Arbor Day Foundation gave me in this area.
Thank you Jim, and you're welcome.It surely can't get into my clay pipe sewer, its 10 feet underground with a riser to dump it into the system.
I have a white dogwood that I planted last a year. I live in southeastern Ohio. It did seemingly great last year. I used one of the watering bags around the base until the late fall started. Now that it is spring, it is not coming back how I anticipated. I thought it was dead as I had done a bend test on one of the branches and it snapped immediately. A few weeks ago, another branch area (three main branches coming from trunk) began to show signs of life. It has buds on it, but they seemingly are very slow at opening as they have not opened yet. I sawed one of the three main branches off that I did the snap test on one of its limbs. Of the remaining two main branches, the one has the buds and the other still has some flexible limbs on it, but no blooms. I’m not quite sure what to do at this point.
Very helpful. Thank you. I just planted a small (3 feet high) dogwood yesterday. I live in central Maryland. It sounds like I shouldn’t water the tree if the soil is moist. How can I determine if the soil is sufficiently dry?
I recently realized my dogwood is the slowest growing tree ever! I planted it in 2016 apparently and well darn if it ain’t still almost the same height but at least more branches! It’s just weird 😂
OK the last 2 winters here in central GA we had like record breaking wet and rain. I lost a number of full grown wild dogwoods during those wet winters; I presume from ANTHROCNOSE fungal infection.
Is there any hope for our native dogwoods? Any resistant cultivars that will survive the plague?
thanks Love your vids.
how about cultivars such as Cherokee princess planted in full sun
Can put on rooftop deck, in large urn,. Is windy okay
Hi Jim. Why are some white flowering dogwoods very white and others are pale green? Can I encourage mine to be more white with any additives? Thanks.
A tree company planted a Cornus Cherokee Brave dogwood tree in my yard last July. It is a small new tree 5-6 tall. I watered it every day until late fall last year. I wrapped it before winter. Now I haven't seen any new leaves. Is there any problem? When does it leaf out in Northern Virginia? Weather is warm since April 13 (close to 70F). Thank you very much for your help.
Interesting that you said they don't grow as quickly in the ground. I'm getting some very young trees delivered to me in a couple of days. Should I keep them in containers for some time to get some quick growth?
I have planted 5 of these and they die. Have clay soil but use sand to plant. The ones in the woods are beautiful now. Very large flowers.
They like to be in part shade. I wouldn't recommend using sand in clay. You are better off using nothing and just mounding them up some.
Jim, any upright flowering tree that can grow and live in shade? I need something nice and delicate next to my door on northfacing side of house that will grow about 8' - 10'. I live in california (bay area, mediterranean climate, heavy soil). Help me find a feature plant for my problem spot!
How do you propagate a regular White dogwood tree??
I just bought a very nice 6' dogwood tree. I love it, have a perfect place for it but need to know how far underground the feeder roots are beneath the surface of the ground. The tap root is not a problem, its feeder roots that can get in the sewer line. Thank you. Shirley
They are very shallow rooted typically. Thanks for watching.
Can you show me how to prune my young dogwood tree? It's about 4' tall
How far away should they be planted from one another?
can I keep them in a pot
Hi!! I'm looking to propagate from my existing dogwoods. I have NEVER done anything like this but these trees are important to my family and I want to keep them going. Any advice on how or when to start this process?? I'm in way over my head but I'm determined! Loved your video! Thank you!
If you have winters, just wait till late February to dig up & replant. Hopfully you marked the tree already this summer.
How is the Cherokee Princess Dogwood different from a Native Dogwood?
Is the fruit eatable of this plant
Hi Jim. I found a two inch-high white dogwood growing in my shaded back yard. It will get filtered sun as giant oaks tower in my yard. I am in zone 7 (MD). Should I leave it where it is? Thanks.
If your happy with it there, I'm sure it will be fine on it own
Great video Jim. I have two questions. We live in Porter County Indiana. An hour outside of Chicago. How deep should I plant the tree (8-9 feet, 2") It's a White Kousa Dogwood. And what fertilizer or other elements should I add to the soil? The nurseries in our area charge $100.00 to plant and $40.00 to deliver. I think I can do it myself.
You can definitely do it yourself. Leave it elevated a few inches above the original soil line. You can fertilize it with plant tone or Holly tone. You could get a couple of bags of compost to mix into the existing soil if you want too, but you don't have too.
Just a follow up Jim. Should the hole be 2 feet around ? And watering regiment ?
Cornus plants are often very expensive and not many varieties are available in my area (Denmark, Northern Europe). If I buy seeds from say Cornus Kousa Satomi (variety with pink flowers) or a variegated Cornua, can I be sure that they will be identical to the mother plant? Or can the flowers result in plain white or variegated leaves disappear??
no guarantee from seed. only cuttings will be an exact match
Hi Jim. I live in zone 7. Early early spring I Purchased 20 bare root white dogwoods. I potted them up in 1 gallon containers and put them in my greenhouse I have covered with 40% shade cloth. They all now have powdery mildew. What would you suggest I do with them? I have a spot where they would get morning and afternoon shade. Please help. Thanks...Kathy
spraying with wetable sulfer can kill pm.
I set out a pink dogwood years ago it looks great color leaves no deases but I set it out under some trees its growing great but has never had even one bloom, been set out at least 10yrs, what can I do, do I need to chop it off and try to move it or what its at least 12-13 feet tall, help .
My neighbor had a couple dogwoods in his front yard, one of them is pink. They are overshadowed by a couple larger trees so his dogwoods dont really grow much or flower much. Since then he had to cut the biggest tree down and the dogwoods are now getting some sun and growing a lot better with blooms now. Maybe you could have some limbs cut from your trees to give a little sun to the dogwoods. I have a couple white bloom dogwoods that are out by themselves and they do good.
Why do my leaves look wither(floppy leaves)
If I were to cut my dogwood at 3’ to try and bring it back, is there some way I should treat the cut afterwards or just leave it be?
I have done that before and I did not treat it. Good smooth cuts
Great thanks! Really enjoying your videos! Thanks!
why won't my dogwood flower....Near Chicago, IL
can florida and pacific dogwoods be propagated from hardwood cuttings?
+joelyboyblue I have never tried, because fall and early winter is the time to collect seed which is not hard to germinate.
Don't know a lot about it, but...
I am told that the native pacific dogwood, Cornus nuttallii, is becoming endangered because of some kind of widespread introduced soil microbe. I just bought a Cornus nuttallii grafted on to a resistant root stock for Washington, west side of the Cascades (between Mt. Ranier and Mt. St. Helens 1000' Zone 8a). Thus, you may have a hard time propagating Cornus nuttallii.
I'm surprised this dogwood video is not on you "native plants" playlist
Lots of videos aren't in all the playlist they should be😂
@@JimPutnam I'm sure it is a lot of work to find all the "native plant" videos with the sheer volume of videos you have on your channel!
How would one of these do in south texas? I would like to grow one at my property in angleton, Texas. thanks
Unless you see them growing in the area, my guess is that you are to far south for them. It would definitely need shade there.
I have tons of shade. However, the soil is more alkaline than acidic. That's the only thing wrong, it rains on and off, and there is tons of shade, just worried about pH
there is a mexican dogwood that is really nice but pricey and hard to find.
Jim, I recently had a landscaping company plant a large white dogwood in my yard. It is basically full sunlight. Previous to that I had a small pink dogwood planted there. The first trees leaves curled and dried out. I believe it got too much water. When they came to plant the larger tree they said the soil was still wet, but planted the tree in the same area and did not suggest it might need to be moved. My soil may be some clay but not that really hard clay. This tree has been there about a month. They told me only to water it once a week about an inch of water. Now this tree has dry leaves which have curled also. Is my tree dying? Or do I need to dig it up and replant it. Is there something I can do to save it. It looks dry. Thank you in advance.
Korene Wallace I’ve heard they do very well in Clay, but you have to plant them “high and dry.”
I would never plant a tree where one had previously died.
@HortTube with Jim Putnam, very informative video, but the title mislead me. I thought you might have had some secrets for "just white" Dogwood trees, but I believe everything you said can be applied to all Cornus florida. Thanks.
The only reason I differentiate them is that the white ones typically aren't grafted so that doesn't need to be addressed. Other than that it's all the same.
@@JimPutnam Wow, didn't know that. Do you happen to know what the root stock is??
Onto regular cornus Florida that is probably done from seed.
Hey Jim. I've got an evergreen dogwood on the north side of my house with two other crape myrtles in the same bed. I've noticed the foliage on the dogwood had become dark. Is that typical of the evergreen variety during the winter?
If it's a purplish color that is likely cold damage from wind. It will likely shed those leaves and put on new ones.
HortTube with Jim Putnam thanks jun

I have a dogwood where the very top has died. I'm not sure why. It's about 15 feet tall. I need to get up there and cut it out. I'm just not sure why it happened. I have another question, I have a really tall cherry tree next to it and it has horrible surface roots. Can anything be done about those? I want to cut them out but I'm sure that wouldn't be good for the tree. Just tired of tripping over them.
+Anita Hadley unfortunately the roots can't be cut. You would loose limbs above the ground. Probably best to mulch that space
HortTube with Jim Putnam As much as I'd like to, I know I can't. What about adding some soil down before the mulch? And any idea why just the top of the dogwood would have died?
For some reason this video wont play for me
My trees are not growing at all any suggestions
Lower your expectations!
Mine is die, i dont know why. I cut it at last but i got the baby,. Birds loves to eat the fruit. Jay birds blue
You didn’t go into what soil conditions they like.
Im going to try growing from seed, anyone have experience doing this?
