Flowering dogwood is named for the showy spring flowers. The common name dogwood comes from one colonial description of the fruit as being edible but not fit for a dog.

Consequently, do dogwood trees have invasive roots? Root Causes Dogwood trees are dependent on surface moisture because root networks don’t penetrate to water reserves that may lie deeper beneath the slightly acidic well-draining soil they prefer. Landscape dogwoods grown in full sun may need to be watered daily.

Growth. Dogwood trees grow to different sizes depending on the species and cultivar. Most are moderate-sized trees ranging from 20 to 40 feet in height. Interestingly, all dogwoods grow at about the same, rather slow rate of less than one foot per year, according to Clemson University.

Locating small trees Medium-sized trees can be planted 15 feet from the house and generally 35 or more feet apart. Small trees, such as the flowering dogwood, may be planted as close as 6 feet from the house and about 20 feet apart.

So, because of respiration, oxygen is utilised and carbon dioxide is continuously produced. That is, the plants leave carbon dioxide at night. On the basis of this it is that in the night if you sleep under the tree, you will not get oxygen, which can cause breathing problem, suffocation etc.

While many plants release carbon dioxide, not oxygen, at night, having a few plants in the bedroom will not release enough carbon dioxide to be harmful at all. Also, not all plants release carbon dioxide at night. With proper plant selection, growing houseplants in bedrooms is perfectly safe.

Researchers find an ultrasonic ‘scream’ is emitted when stems are cut or if species are not watered enough. A team of scientists at Tel Aviv University have discovered that some plants emit a high frequency distress sound when they undergo environmental stress.
