Pagota Dogwood #938936

Asked July 11, 2026, 3:42 PM EDT

I’m interested in seeing a pagoda Dogwood and a Japanese maple in a non-nursery setting. They are options for an upcoming landscaping project. Location would be for a front lawn on the north east corner of the house. I’m in the Richfield area and would like to see both options growing somewhere. Any additional comments you have pertaining to either variety would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
