(Cornus kousa)
Kousa Dogwood grows 15 to 20 feet tall and has
beautiful exfoliating bark, long lasting flowers, good
fall color, and attractive fruit. Branches grow
upright when the tree is young, but appear in
horizontal layers on mature trees. The crown
eventually grows wider than it is tall on many
specimens. It would be difficult to use too many
Kousa Dogwoods. The white, pointed bracts are
produced a month later than Flowering Dogwood and
are effective for about a month, sometimes longer.
The red fruits are edible and they look like a big round
raspberry. Birds devour the fruit quickly. Fall color
varies from dull red to maroon.
