Do dogwood trees have deep roots?

Dogwoods have shallow roots, and even with dappled shade, these root systems will dry quickly. Water the tree to a depth of three feet, and observe the leaves for signs of over or under watering. If the leaves are light-green, prickly, or crispy, the tree needs more water.

When should I dig up my transplanted trees?

Just like pruning, the best time of year to transplant a tree is when it's dormant in spring or fall. In fall, transplant before the first frost. In spring, plan to relocate before the tree starts sprouting.

Can I dig up a tree and replant it?

Move the tree by lifting and carrying the root ball rather than grasping the trunk. If possible, replant the tree immediately. Dig a hole that is 2 to 3 times the width of the tree's root ball. The depth of the hole should be approximately 1 to 2 inches less than the height of the soil ball.

How do you split a dogwood?

To divide your dogwood, do so now before it leafs out. For ease of division and to reduce stress on the shrub, prune the tops back, reducing the height by at least half or two-thirds or greater. Such severe cutback is necessary to achieve balance between the branches and the disrupted root system.

How far away from the house should you plant a dogwood tree?

Whether you choose a common dogwood or a kousa dogwood, dig the planting hole at least 15 feet away from the house, so the tree can eventually reach its full width, maximizing its ability to make your house look wider.
