THE Kousa Dogwood
About the Kousa
Dogwood :
The Kousa Dogwood tree, Cornus kousa, or
Japanese Flowering Dogwood, is a handsome
small specimen tree or shrub. The Kousa is
not as susceptible to disease as the White
Dogwood in spring. It is planted as a
specimen, near a patio, or in groupings.
Kousa Dogwood trees blooms later than the
White Dogwood and with a softer petal flower
than the White Flowering Dogwood.
This deciduous tree has red fruits that
look like a big round raspberry. The fall
color is red to maroon. Because of its
disease resistance, it is becoming the best
replacement for the White Dogwood. The
flowering tree, Kousa Dogwood, has low water
requirements and displays a moderate
tolerance for salt and alkali soils. |
