May Plant: Dogwood Tree
 Here are some dogwood tree care and landscape integration tips from Patterson Farm Landscape Manager Jeff Wilson:
1. Plant dogwood trees in a partially shady area.
2. Be sure tree has adequate water during the first year. Dogwoods need 1 inch of water per week during growing season.
3. The best spot for planting a dogwood is an area with moist but well-drained soil that gets full to partial sun. Dig a hole approximately twice the diameter of the root system and about a foot deeper.
4. To fertilize, use 4 tablespoons of 12-4-8 per tree in February and mid-June.
5. Prune only to remove dead or diseased branches.
