Dogwood Trees
Dogwood trees also offer stunning autumn foliage, with leaves turning brilliant shades of red and purple. This makes them appealing throughout the year. These trees thrive in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and prefer a partially shaded spot. Flowering dogwoods are relatively low-maintenance, making them an ideal choice for homeowners looking to enhance their garden with a burst of seasonal colour. Additionally, they attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, contributing to a vibrant, healthy ecosystem.
This month, our Kilby dogwoods have put on a splendid display of autumn foliage, bursting into vivid shades of red, orange and deep purple. All our available dogwoods feature bright green leaves, stunning flower bracts with modest petals at the centre, and come summer, they develop decorative, berry-like fruit that birds adore. These trees not only enhance the visual appeal of your garden but also draw in wildlife, making them a splendid addition to any nature enthusiast’s plot.
At present, we have three dogwood varieties on offer at the farm, each boasting its own unique charm throughout the seasons.
At the farm we currently have three dogwood options available. All dogwoods available feature bright green leaves, beautiful flower bracts with insignificant petals in the centre, and in summer will develop ornamental fruit that birds love.
