But that's not the only great attribute. Greensleeves is a 4-season color factory in the landscape. In spring, unusually thick, waxy and shiny deep green leaves emerge that weather well throughout the rest of the season. The heaviest blooming dogwood in our gardens, in late spring to early summer the canopy is literally clothed in pretty, creamy white flowers with pointed petals that are lightly suffused with soft green. Later in the season abundant salmon colored large round berries appear that birds and other wildlife will thank you for. Hungry dogs and humans can eat them too:-) Fall brings a mix of robust red and purple leaves that stand out remarkably well in the landscape. Mottled, exfoliating, tan and gray bark on mature trees provides interest during winter. With so many wonderful attributes, the Greensleeves Dogwood tree deserves a spot in every landscape where it will grow!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIf you've been afraid to plant a Dogwood tree for fear of disease and\/or borer problems, fear not. The dependable \u003ci\u003eCornus kousa\u003c\/i\u003e, of which 'Greensleeves' is one, has demonstrated excellent resistance to both the dogwood borer and anthracnose disease. In some areas of the U.S., anthracnose has almost wiped out many of the native dogwoods, \u003ci\u003eCornus florida\u003c\/i\u003e.

Though Dogwood trees will tolerate full sun, we think they look and perform best with some shade or filtered sun during the hottest part of summer afternoons.Constantly soggy or wet soils are problematic. Maintenance is minimal to none.
