1 Kousa Dogwood Tree 12" Cornus kousa Bare Root Live Plant

The Kousa Dogwood (Cornus kousa) is a beautiful deciduous flowering tree appreciated for its elegant layered branches, pointed star-shaped blooms that appear after the leaves, and ornamental fruit. It offers four-season interest with spring flowers, dense green foliage, reddish-purple fall color, and attractive peeling bark in winter, making it a distinguished focal point in any landscape.
This versatile tree works beautifully as a specimen, in mixed borders, or planted along a woodland edge. It grows at a moderate rate into a compact, vase-shaped canopy with a rounded crown. The small berry-like fruits ripen in late summer and are favored by birds, while the foliage provides a cool green backdrop through the warmer months. Use it as an ornamental accent where its structure and changing seasonal display can be appreciated.
