Kousa Dogwood Scarlet Fire® 10 Gallon

Cornus kousa 'Rutpink'

This award-winning Korean dogwood tree produces dramatic, deep pink to fuchsia flowers (bracts) attracting pollinators in late spring followed by 1-inch, edible, red fruit that songbirds enjoy. This variety develops an elegant, multi-stemmed, upright, spreading habit covered in dark green, pointy, oval foliage with streaks of purple in spring that matures to burgundy-red in autumn. Its mottled to peeling gray bark adds winter interest. Plant in well-drained to moist, acidic to neutral, amended soil. Kousa dogwoods are generally more weather and disease resistant than Floridian Dogwoods. Use as a specimen, street tree, in woodland gardens, and in shrub borders with azaleas, Astilbe, and ferns.
