Kousa Dogwood
Kousa Dogwood
Beautiful showy white blooms in late spring.
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.

Kousa Dogwoods bloom in late May or early June, about three weeks
after Flowering Dogwoods. They have a four to six week bloom period
which includes the early part when the bracts are still small and have a
lime color. These bloom then become large creamy-white "flowers" which
are actually 4 bracts, or modified leaves, which appear on the upper side
of the horizontal branches. They are 1-1/2 to 2 inches long, featuring
distinctively pointed tips rather than the familiar notched bracts of
flowering dogwood. The bracts surround the tightly clustered small yellow
true flowers.
