Cornus kousa chinesis ia a shapely tree, although small is often used as a specimen tree. It is also in shrub or mixed borders making it a useful tree to have around. Attractive white petal-like bracts in early summer. Deciduous with dark green foliage which turns a spectacular red and purple in autumn.
Fully hardy, likes sun but will grow in partial shade if it is a protected and warm situation.) An adaptable tree but prefers fertile well drained soil. Weed and mulch in spring, it will also benefit from some compost. No regular pruning is necessary so it will suit someone who would just like to plant their tree and leave it be!)
Special features: Deciduous with dark green foliage which turns a spectacular red and purple in autumn.
History: Cornus kousa, the Kousa dogwood, native to Korea, much of China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Sikkim, Bhutan and the Ryukyu Islands. It is also reportedly naturalized in Hawaii, Connecticut and New York State.
The tree is watered before carefully packed by one of our experienced staff on site. It comes in a cardboard box lined with straw. (We try to use as much recycling material as possible) The box is addressed to the customer or a specified name and address and sent out overnight delivery to arrive on requested dates.
Please note the size of the tree that you are ordering, as our trees are provided for our clients to plant themselves, which may appear at a small size rather than the fully grown tree as shown in the photos. To find out more information, please visit our Delivery & Returns page.
