Delivery Information

Description

Cornus hongkongensis is an unusual evergreen Dogwood with glossy green leaves and creamy white flowers in late spring. The blooms can be followed by small fruits later in the year providing added interest.

Also known as Hong Kong Dogwood, Cornus hongkongensis forms a large shrub reaching 8-10 metres in height. It is hardy and adaptable, thriving in full sun to partial shade in an exposed or sheltered environment. An excellent choice for creating garden privacy, year-round structure and seasonal appeal.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.
