Dogwood Rubra 7Gal

Growth: Slow to moderate

Light: Partial shade is best; tolerates full sun with consistent moisture

Soil: Needs acidic, moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter; dislikes heavy clay and hot, dry sites

Central Missouri: Marginal to moderate; central Missouri's heavy clay soils, summer heat/humidity, and pressure from dogwood anthracnose/borers can stress it - best sited with afternoon shade, good drainage, and supplemental water in dry spells
