Description

Greensleeves Dogwood is a stunning tree that brings a fresh, inspiring statement to any landscape. In early spring, it bursts into a brilliant display of creamy, showstopping blooms that command attention, while its lush, deep-green foliage provides a polished backdrop throughout the season. Designed for Michigan’s cooler climate, this compact tree maintains an elegant stature, making it ideal for intimate spaces or as a focal point along a landscape frontage. In the fall, its leaves may develop a subtle reddish hue, adding an extra splash of seasonal interest. Although it produces small red drupes later in the season, these fruits are primarily ornamental and not intended for culinary use.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; ensure it receives at least 6 hours of direct light daily for optimal blooming.
  • Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter to support steady growth and vibrant health.
  • Watering: Provide consistent moisture during the establishment phase; once mature, the tree benefits from regular, moderate watering, especially during warmer periods.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, taking care to leave a small gap around the trunk for proper airflow.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches, helping to maintain a tidy, polished structure and encouraging robust flowering.

Greensleeves Dogwood adds a stunning, uplifting accent to Michigan landscapes, offering a blend of refined blooms, elegant foliage, and a modern architectural form that captivates throughout the seasons.
