Quick Overview
Why it rocks:
June Snow™ Dogwood is aptly named after its late spring blooms— large clusters of tiny, white star-like flowers that appear in June. This accent tree can be appreciated in all seasons! After flowering, the branches will give way to clusters of blue-black hanging fruit that will be sure to attract wildlife! In the fall, homeowners can expect a display of incredible fall color with mottled hues of orange, yellow, red, and purple-red. In winter, its dark purple branching offers a unique contrast against the stark winter snow.
Where to put it:
June Snow™ Dogwood matures with wide, horizontally spreading branches, growing to be more wide than tall, offering an Oriental aesthetic. This tree can be enjoyed in the landscape all on its own, in an open garden/courtyard setting, and is excellent for privacy and screening. This tree should be kept at least 10ft away from buildings.
What it needs:
June Snow™ Dogwood is a fast-growing tree and is extremely tolerant, hardy to -20*. Be sure to follow our watering guidelines for the first few growing seasons until the root system is well-established.
