We have many white dogwoods on two lots. The orignal ones are 50-60 years old. I have transplanted the others from the many seedlings that appear. If you have azaleas that thrive then so will dogwoods. They like acid soil and go light on fertilizer. I never fertilize mine. Move them after they loose all their leaves. If you wait until they leaf-out, they won't make it.
This picture is one of the original dogwoods. Their lifespann (I have been told ) is 50 years. We will have to cut down 5 this year that we are pretty sure are close to 60 yrs. old.
