Plant Care Tips

Plant Care for Cherokee Chief Dogwood Tree 🌸

1. Planting


The Cherokee Chief Dogwood 🌺 prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil
(ideal pH range: 5.5–6.5). Choose a location with partial shade to full sun ☀️, though it performs
best with morning sun and afternoon shade 🌤️ for vibrant blooms.


Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth. Place the tree so the top of the root
ball sits about 1 inch above ground level. Backfill with native soil, gently press to remove air pockets,
and water thoroughly 💧.

2. Watering


Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry 🌿. Newly planted trees require watering 2–3 times per week
during hot weather ☀️. Once established, water deeply but less frequently, especially during dry periods 💦.
Slow, deep watering encourages strong root development 🌱.

3. Fertilizing


Avoid fertilizing during the first year. Starting in the second year, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer
in early spring 🌼. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it may reduce flowering 🌸.

4. Mulching


Spread a 2–3 inch layer of organic mulch 🍂 (such as pine bark or shredded leaves) around the base of the tree.
Keep mulch at least 2 inches away from the trunk to prevent rot. Mulching helps retain moisture 💧, regulates soil
temperature 🌤️, and suppresses weeds 🌿.

5. Pruning


Prune in late winter or early spring ❄️ before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches ✂️.
Minimal pruning is required—light shaping after flowering improves airflow and maintains a healthy, attractive tree 🌳.
