Kousa Dogwood

2-8, 5-3, 5-4

The Kousa Dogwood is a asian cousin to our native dogwood. It is a small (30') tree that blooms in the late spring. More tolerant of soil types and full sun than the native dogwoods (mostly growing in filtered shade in the woods), the Kousa is also more pest resistant except for its susceptibility to anthracnose.
