🌸 Cornus kousa 'Celestial' White Flowering Dogwood - Planting & Care 🌿

🌱 Planting

Choose a location with full sun to partial shade ☀️🌤️ — morning sunlight and afternoon shade are best in warmer climates. ‘Celestial’ thrives in well-drained, acidic to neutral soil enriched with organic matter 🌾. Dig a hole twice as wide and deep as the root ball. Place the tree carefully 🌳, keeping the root ball level with the ground. Backfill with native soil, press gently, and water thoroughly 💧. Add 2–3 inches of mulch 🌿 around the base (not touching the trunk) to retain moisture and prevent rot.

💧 Watering

Water deeply 2–3 times weekly during the first year to establish strong roots 🌱. Once established, water weekly during dry spells 🌞. While drought-tolerant, consistent moisture helps maintain vibrant blooms and lush foliage 🌸🍃.

🌼 Fertilizing

Skip fertilizer during the first growing season. In following years, apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer (10-10-10) in early spring 🌷 before new growth starts. Avoid excess nitrogen to prevent too much foliage and fewer flowers 🌿.

🍂 Mulching

Reapply 2–3 inches of organic mulch each spring 🌾 to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot 🐛.

✂️ Pruning

Minimal pruning required! Trim dead, damaged, or crossed branches 🌳 in late winter or early spring ❄️. ‘Celestial’ naturally maintains a graceful, upright form 🌸, so only light shaping is needed.
