Cornus kousa

Cornus kousa is a low-maintenance option for adding structural interest to a border or shrubbery, or for displaying as a free-standing specimen. It is a stunning small tree with a lot of interest that changes with the seasons. Beginning in the spring with a thick canopy of fresh green leaves, the summer is illuminated by exquisite white flowers. This Flowering Dogwood's flowers turn into small red strawberry-like fruits in autumn, which sit gorgeously among the foliage as it takes on an appealing purple-bronze hue. Height: 7m (23?). Spread: 5m (16?).
