Cornus kousa chinensis
The Kousa Dogwood (Cornus kousa chinensis) is a deciduous tree native to East Asia, prized for its year-round beauty and ornamental appeal. In late spring, it features showy, star-shaped white bracts surrounding small greenish flowers. The tree grows 15-30 feet tall with a vase-shaped form that matures into a rounded canopy. In summer, it develops raspberry-like red fruits that attract birds, while its dark green foliage turns vibrant shades of red and purple in autumn. The Kousa Dogwood is also notable for its mottled, exfoliating bark, which adds winter interest. Thriving in well-drained soil and partial shade to full sun, it is a versatile and low-maintenance choice for landscapes.
