They can also provide the equipment necessary for offloading the tree upon delivery. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor has equipment ready upon your trees arrival! OR check the box below for ServeScape to provide offloading equipment for an additional fee.

Little Poncho Dogwood is a dwarf flowering deciduous tree with a single trunk that has rich green leaves that gain wavy margins which can be mild or heavy and turns orange to purple fall .  Large button flowers that have pointed white petal-like brackets bloom from late spring into summer.  Attractive edible red fall fruits that taste like papaya follow the flowers.  Prefers part sun and slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soil.  Has excellent disease resistance.
