Planning to install this tree yourself? We recommend a size 15 Gallon or smaller for do it yourself installations. These small sizes do not require any offloading equipment!
Trees that are sized by height or caliper are delivered with a large root ball wrapped in burlap. They require heavy equipment to install. We recommend working with a contractor for installation! 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.

 Celestial Dogwood is a heavy blooming deciduous tree with an upright habit.  Its leaves are a dark green that turns red-purple in fall.  The tiny button flowers have large petal-like brackets that open white and mature to pink, giving the illusion of 4” flowers, that bloom in spring and attract butterflies.  Prefers part sun and slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soil.  Celestial has good resistance to anthracnose and borers.
