The Red Osier Dogwood would tolerate wet areas. While they will take up some water into their biomass, it is difficult to say how much of a water reduction you would notice by planting. It would surely help to some degree, but without knowing a number of factors about the soil, etc, we couldn't guarantee the result. Thanks, CRN

Can I specify a delivery date for the dogwoods? I don't need them just yet but want to be sure I have a dozen reserved for delivery in early May.

Without doing so, our nursery will choose the most appropriate window of time for your area. Thanks, CRN
