Description:
‘Satomi’ is a variety of Korean dogwood and produces clusters of pink flower bracts held atop the branches in late spring. Large pink berries from early to mid-fall attract birds to the landscape. It has bluish-green deciduous foliage which makes a spectacular show of orangey red for Fall colour. Best planted in a sheltered location to protect from strong winter winds.
Avoid areas with standing water and prefers acidic soil. Snipping off old buds on the dogwood tree to promote new growth and flowering can take place during the summer, preferably in June after flowering, although less berries will form. Extensive pruning, if needed, is best done when the tree is dormant. Choose a site for your dogwoods that is well-drained but does not get extremely dry. Soil high in organic matter is best. Dogwoods can be planted in full sun or partial shade, though partial shade is best (morning sun in particular). Dogwoods are typically an understory tree in its native habitat. Dogwoods are easy-care trees that will likely bloom by their second year, but sometimes will bloom in their first year.
