Pagoda Dogwood - In Bloom - May 2025
Just like yesterday's post showing our Indiana Street Iris in bloom, this post uses photos that are about a month old. Below are some shots showing the Pagoda Dogwood tree (a native dogwood) in bloom. These are from late May of this year and it was in peak-bloom around May 25, 2025. We planted this as a tiny tree back in 2021 . It has grown up and out since then and is now about head-high in terms of height. It was covered in white blooms this Spring: The past two seasons, I've lightly pruned this tree - to help shorten some of the lower limbs and to help push it taller into more of a tree-form shape. I'm planning on doing that again this year now that the blooms have passed.
