The dependable \u003ci\u003eCornus kousa\u003c\/i\u003e, often called Chinese Dogwood, Japanese Dogwood or Kousa Dogwood, has demonstrated excellent resistance to both the dogwood borer and anthracnose disease. In some areas of the U.S., anthracnose has almost wiped out many of the native dogwoods, \u003ci\u003eCornus florida\u003c\/i\u003e. Not only does \u003ci\u003eCornus kousa\u003c\/i\u003e result in a tree with stronger vigor and resistance to insect and disease, it will look and grow better in full sun than other dogwood species. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eChinese dogwoods are multi-season color factories. In spring, this white variety produces an abundance of gorgeous, pointed, 4-petal white flowers that will light up your garden. The flowers are followed by numerous clusters of berry-like fruits that mature to a pinkish red color in summer persisting through fall. Handsome foliage remains rich green, unblemished, and healthy throughout the entire warm season until leaves turn intense shades of scarlet to burgundy red in fall, hanging on the tree for a much longer color show than native dogwood species. For an even more spectacular springtime show, include the Pink Chinese Dogwood in your garden.

Also nice to frame the corners of tall homes and to provide beauty and some shade around patios, porches and other outdoor living spaces.

Though Dogwood trees will tolerate full sun, we think they look and perform best with some shade or filtered sun 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                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48143929016474,"sku":"D2LSC 772552248","price":83.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/Dogwood-Chinese-White-16_07994f87-e6b0-4611-b567-dbc78f3cc9b3.jpg?v=1779919918","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/white-kousa-chinese-dogwood-cornus-kousa-5-gallon-pot-3-4","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
