Tree Talk: Flowering Dogwood

[@RavenTreasures]

I got mine through the Arbor Day Foundation, I live in SC zone 8. Can't wait to add it to my yard

Good morning! Really cool factoid about the calcium. I learn something new every time I watch! Thanks!

[@markjones5561]

will now look for snails under these trees! :)

[@reetaylor7342]

I didn't know they were natives! I learned something new - thank you!

[@joecrites]

All of your videos are really great. Thanks.

[@IsabelRodriguez-nv2ue]

Great video! The forest is lovely and the rain is so soothing! Thanks for sharing this valuable information. The calcium and the snails are really cool. Truly helpful. Best wishes.

Excellent, thorough description of an absolutely wonderful, lovely native tree!❤

[@Dunks_85]

Great video!

[@christinarennich5092]

Wonderful video - this tree is a real beauty!

[@calebcothron3556]

Supposedly dogwood was used to make large wooden splitting wedges, called a "glut", for splitting logs into rived boards back in the day due to it being so hard. Thanks for the video!

Wild Turkeys Love those Berries also.

[@HonestlyAnnaFun]

This is amazing! I had no idea about the leaf tissue!

[@Chanettes_Unique]

I have the stems in water for home decor purposes, and it's beautiful

[@Jim-the-Engineer]

I guess Newt had the good sense to stay in out of the rain! ;-)

[@forestsforthebay4784]

Haha yep, you guessed correctly!

[@Lou_Mansfield]

Yeah i also dislike landscape trees that just take up space and don't contribute to native insects and birds. I love native trees for this reason!

[@evergreen8965]

Do you have a video on red bud trees?

[@forestsforthebay4784]

Not yet but we'll get to it eventually! They are lovely!

[@jjsq22]

Any idea on the lifespan? We bought a house that has 2, it seems the one has died and the other not doing so well, they look rather old and I believe they were there for quite some time.

[@JDoe-hb7pc]

What comes out of the stems first the leaf or the flower? I have one and it's 3 years old and all that comes out is just green leaf every year.

[@forestsforthebay4784]

Flowering dogwood starts to bloom when it's around 5 to 7 years old, so you may have to wait a few more years to start to see flowers.

[@johncremeans969]

Dogwood does not split and it's very heavy intense it makes great mallets the head of a mallet for wood carving can be made of Dogwood

How to propagate?
