Description
National Chinese Dogwood is a showy tree with a graceful, vase-shaped form, perfect for adding elegance to Massachusetts gardens. In late spring, clusters of light green flowers with creamy white bracts bloom, creating a delicate yet striking display. As summer progresses, an abundance of red berries emerges, providing food for local birds and enhancing the seasonal beauty.
Its green deciduous foliage transforms into brilliant brick red hues in the fall, adding warmth to autumn landscapes across Massachusetts. The tree's peeling gray bark adds visual interest throughout the year, making it a standout in any garden. With its preference for well-drained acidic soil and partial shade, National Chinese Dogwood thrives in carefully curated outdoor spaces.
Our trees are sold by height (younger trees) or by caliper (more mature trees), ensuring you find the perfect size for your landscape needs. This tree is available by height in 6 ft. size, perfect for those looking for a younger, well-established tree.
