Cornus kousa var. chinensis 'China Girl'

Cornus kousa var. chinensis 'China Girl' was introduced as an improved early flowering dogwood. It has masses of large, creamy-white flower bracts in late spring. In autumn, vibrant strawberry-like fruits appear alongside beautiful shades of red-orange foliage before falling. The flower's impact is highly dependent on the previous year's weather conditions. A long, hot summer will produce a magnificent array of flowers. However, a cold, wet summer will result in poorer flower displays. We recommend planting Cornus kousa var. chinensis 'China Girl' in full sun in a large container or in a sunny border for excellent performance. Height: 7m (23'). Spread: 5m (16.5').
