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. |
