We also have the White Dogwood trying to open up. The Dogwood and this Blue Spruce work out the area nicely together, with the Dogwood adapting to the stronger ways of the mighty Blue Spruce.

Trim once a year after the blooms fade and allow the stems to grow for the next years blooms. Nancy Edwards
