Planting a Trio of Dogwoods for a Multi-Colored Canopy

Planting white, pink, and red dogwoods close together can create a stunning fused canopy. Prepare an eight-foot-diameter circle of loosened soil. Position the three young trees in a triangle with trunks about eighteen inches apart—close enough to intertwine but far enough to prevent rubbing as they mature. In a few years, you'll have a single mass of three-color blooms. For more details, see the University of Georgia's dogwood planting guide.
