Common Dogwood Cornus sanguinea
The Common Dogwood (Cornus sanguinea) is a, fast-growing, hedging tree, putting between 30cm (1ft) and 45cm (1ft 6in) of new growth each year. A non-evergreen, it is marked for its small, white, decorative flowers, which are produced during Summer, as well as small non-edible black berries, which form in late summer to autumn. Its most striking feature occurs during Wintertime when the leaves have fallen and strikingly beautiful red-orange stems are revealed.
Delivery
Due to courier unpredictability, we advise having your trees delivered AT LEAST 3 days before you actually need them.
Returning Cell Grown Trees
For Phytosanitary reasons, cell grown trees cannot be returned to the nursery.
Delaying Planting Cell Grown Trees
If you cannot plant straight away, take the trees out of the packaging and stand upright next to each other in a sheltered location outside. November to March, no need to water unless they start to dry out and these would be ok for up to 6 weeks. During Spring and Summer, you can do this for up to 3 weeks.
Feeding Or Fertilizing
This is a task that can easily be over done. Any nitrogen based fertilizer will do such as 20:20:10 but the longer lasting ones which take 18/24 months are better as they are regulated by the weather and moisture therefore release slowly.
