Expert Response
Dogwoods are very forgiving You can prune them now down to whatever height you wish. You can even prune them to the ground. If they have red stems in the fall, you can cut some down and use them in holiday pots. Also, if they become too tall in the summer, you can prune them back a bit to control their height.
Thank you!
