tatarian dogwood

Tatarian dogwood (Cornus alba 'Siberian Pearls') should be watered deeply on a consistent basis. Aim to water about 1-2 inches of water a week during the warmer months, and once every 10-14 days during the winter months. It is essential to ensure that the soil is kept moist at all times. If you are planting a new Tatarian Dogwood, you should water deeply after planting. After that, water them as needed, to maintain moist soil. It is important that you do not over-water the plant, as this can lead to root rot. Avoid getting the leaves wet when watering, as this can cause disease and fungal infections.

Tatarian Dogwood (Cornus alba 'Siberian Pearls') grows best when planted in full sun to partial shade. In full sun, it will need at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. In partial shade, the plant will need at least 2 to 3 hours of direct sunlight. It can tolerate some shade, but if it is planted mostly in shade, it will not flower well or produce as many vibrant berries.

Tatarian dogwood (Cornus alba 'Siberian Pearls') should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be light and selective, removing only a few of the oldest and most damaged stems. This will help improve the shape of the plant and stimulate new growth and flowering. Pruning should not be done in summer or fall, as this can stress the plant and cause dieback. If desired, a light pruning can be done in summer once the flowering has ended. Avoid cutting beyond the desired shape or removing too many branches, as this can result in an unbalanced and lopsided shrub.
