The dependable \u003ci\u003eCornus kousa\u003c\/i\u003e varieties are resistant to both disease and borers. 'Elizabeth Lustgarten' is a beautiful, vigorous, and floriferous weeping selection. She reaches approximately 15 to 20 feet tall and 12 to 18 feet wide, with gracefully arching and weeping branches clothed in lustrous, dark green leaves that turn to vibrant shades of red in the fall, holding their color much longer than native dogwoods. In late spring, she features a plethora of large, 4 to 5-inch-diameter, 4-petaled, star-shaped flowers with white, pointed petals that nearly cover the foliage on mature trees. The flowers are followed by numerous clusters of strawberry-like fruits that mature to a red color in summer, persisting through fall. Kousa dogwoods will tolerate more sun than our native species, but we still believe they look their best in a partially shaded environment with some filtered sun or shade during the afternoon. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing 15 to 20 feet tall and 12 to 18 feet wide, the Elizabeth Lustgarten Weeping Dogwood is ideal for use as a specimen or in spaced groupings at 20 or more feet apart in sunny or shady landscape or woodland borders. It is also lovely framing the corners of homes or to provide beauty around patios, porches, and other outdoor living spaces. It is a fine addition to woodland gardens, white-themed gardens, Asian-themed gardens, wildlife gardens, and cottage gardens.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Spacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  20 or more feet apart for space between trees\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDogwood trees are adaptable to a wide range of soil types; however, they prefer moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Although Dogwood trees can tolerate full sun, we believe they look and perform best with some shade or filtered sunlight during the hottest part of summer afternoons. Constantly soggy or wet soils are problematic. Maintenance is minimal to none. Except to remove a stray or broken branch, no pruning is necessary.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e  Find helpful advice from our experts under the Planting \u0026amp; Care tab above on desktop computer monitors or below on mobile devices. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48144212230298,"sku":"D2LSC 551036156","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/cornus-kousa-elizabeth-lustgarten-weeping-dogwood-tree-3.jpg?v=1779924033","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/elizabeth-lustgarten-weeping-kousa-dogwood-tree-7-gallon-pot","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
