Dogwood Trees

Question

I heard when you plant a dogwood, you should have a taller tree beside it to give it shelter and protect it from heat as the tree grows.  I live in Roseburg, Oregon. Which plants go well with the dogwoods here?

Answer 1

White pines, hemlock and redbud make great companion trees for dogwood. You can also plant shrubs like azalea, rhododendron and forsythia next to them.
