The kousa dogwood is a tree that’s incredibly beautiful, and it resists pest infestations as well as disease. Learn how to cultivate it on Gardener’s Path.

The Cornus Kousa is a spectacular non-native tree both as an accent in the garden or as an understory tree. Its spectacular blooms and elegant horizontal branches makes it a beautiful addition to any backyard landscape. Plant it alongside our native Cornus Florida and Redbuds to create a magical garden experience. It is not particularly good for attracting wildlife to your garden.

Tiny backyards are no match for these showstoppers.

Available in many colors, shapes, and sizes, dogwood trees add beauty to the landscape for most of the year.

"Cornus kousa China Girl has large bracts, great autumn colour and good sized fruits. Plants as small as 40-60cm are capable of setting flower buds making this an ideal garden tree that exhibits lots of interest. The flowers of the Cornus kousa China Girl are borne in abundance in early spring and the foliage turns vivid colours by autumn. It will not thrive in alkaline soils and it is best only to plant on ground with a ph less than 7 and to avoid waterlogged or compacted soils."

From blossoms to winter beauty, each of these dogwood trees or shrubs is a garden delight. Which one would you pick?
