Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip

Why Plant Greensleeves Japanese Dogwood?

Greensleeves Japanese Dogwood brings the elegance of classic Kousa Dogwoods with improved vigor and performance. Known for its tidy habit and prolonged bloom time, this cultivar produces large, creamy white bracts that float above rich green foliage in late spring. Unlike native dogwoods that bloom earlier, Greensleeves offers a floral encore just as spring transitions to summer. As the seasons change, its leaves take on burgundy tones, and attractive, raspberry-like fruit appears to delight birds. It is highly resistant to powdery mildew and other common dogwood ailments, making it a standout choice for healthy, long-lasting beauty.

How to use Greensleeves Japanese Dogwood in the landscape?

Plant Greensleeves Dogwood as a front-yard focal point, near patios, or along woodland edges. Its tidy form and manageable size suit residential landscapes and urban gardens. Use it in groupings with other flowering trees or let it shine on its own. The tree's striking summer fruit and fall foliage offer multi-season interest.

How Does Shipping Work?

Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.

*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.

Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

Shipping Delays:

From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

How Does Sizing Work?

The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
