About this product

Cornus kousa Chinensis, known as Chinese Dogwood, is the parent of many cultivars and produces a lovely floral display of off-white bract like flowers in the spring.

It grows as a bush rather than a tree and has a stunning autumn foliage display of yellows through to red.

Cornus kousa Chinensis thrives on well-drained acid soils and makes a fine tree for a small garden if these conditions are met.

Some say the fruits are edible, but there are better things to try!

Mature Height: 3-7m
