Cornus 'Venus'
Choose Venus® Dogwood if you want a bold white-flowering specimen tree with better disease resistance than many traditional dogwoods. The tradeoff: it needs real space and is not a screening plant.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | The oversized white spring bloom makes it a clear focal tree where it has room to show its branching. |
| Growth Rate | B | It builds presence at a steady pace, but it is not the tree for instant shade or quick screening. |
| Maintenance | B | Disease resistance helps, but it still needs good siting, mulch, and watering during establishment. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C | Its spreading habit needs open lawn or bed space rather than a narrow foundation pocket. |
| Screening Value | D | This is an ornamental specimen tree, not a privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Venus® Dogwood as a specimen, not a border filler. Give it open space, decent soil moisture, and protection while young; it performs best where the spring flowers can be viewed easily.

No, it is a hybrid that keeps the dogwood look while adding vigor and disease resistance.
Yes, but flowering is generally stronger with more sun and even moisture.
Very little; remove crossing or damaged branches, but do not shear it.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
