Description

Galilean Dogwood offers a stunning seasonal display that brings refined elegance to any Michigan landscape. In spring, its delicate clusters of creamy blossoms set the stage for a spectacular transition: by mid to late summer, the tree produces small, edible, pinkish fruits with a wonderfully sweet flavor—ideal for enjoying fresh or turning into delightful preserves. For the best fruit production, cross-pollination with a compatible Kousa dogwood is recommended. Come autumn, the foliage transforms into a subtle, refreshing russet, adding an inspiring splash of seasonal color. With its compact, polished form and tasteful fruiting display, Galilean Dogwood is a showstopper that enriches any outdoor space.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light daily for optimal blooming and fruiting.
  • Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish a healthy root system; once established, occasional watering during extended dry periods
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and stabilize soil temperatures, keeping mulch slightly away from the trunk to promote healthy airflow.
  • Pruning: Light pruning in late winter or early spring to remove damaged or crossing branches helps maintain a tidy, refined structure and encourages healthy new growth.

Galilean Dogwood adds a refreshing and inspiring accent to Michigan landscapes, combining stunning spring blooms, sweet edible fruit, and a polished seasonal transformation into one magnificent package.
