Chinese Dogwood, Cornus kousa
28-36 in. Tall Potted Trees- Ships Rooted in Soil
A small to medium-sized deciduous tree native to East Asia, including China, Korea, and Japan. This species is highly valued for its ornamental qualities, making it a popular choice in gardens and landscapes.
One of the most striking features of the Chinese Dogwood is its prolific flowering in late spring to early summer. The tree produces large, star-shaped bracts that are typically white. These bracts surround small, inconspicuous flowers at the center.
Growing to a height of 15 to 30 feet, with a similar spread, the Chinese Dogwood has a rounded, layered canopy. Its leaves are dark green and oval-shaped, turning to brilliant shades of red and purple in the fall, contributing to its year-round appeal.
The Chinese Dogwood produces edible, berry-like fruits after flowering, which are a deep red color and attract various birds and wildlife. These fruits are also edible for humans, though not widely consumed.
It thrives in well-drained, acidic to neutral soil and prefers a sunny to partially shaded location. It is generally more heat tolerant than the American Dogwood and is also known for its resistance to many of the diseases that affect other dogwood species.
For cultivation, it's important to provide the Chinese Dogwood with consistent moisture, especially in dryer conditions. It is well-suited for use as a specimen tree, in woodland gardens, or as part of mixed borders due to its size and ornamental qualities.
