Chinese Dogwood
Cornus kousa ChinensisAbout 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
