Small tree with somewhat horizontal layers of branches and attractive green leaves. Younger trees have a lot of variety in bract color. They tend to be more white with rose-pink tips and everywhere in between. With age, the bracts usually have a more distinct rose-pink color over the entire bract. Spring flowers are followed by red, fleshy, hanging fruit. Fall foliage color is deep red. This variety is considered disease resistant. Also known as 'Rosabella'. Growth Rate medium

Attractive horizontal tiers of branches help make this small deciduous tree popular. Splendid pink to red bracts followed in fall by hanging red fruit. Autumn leaves have red-scarlet tints.

Best known of the pink C. kousa dogwood selections. Flowers are a rich variety of muted pinks. Leaves also tinted with a bit of maroon, adding summer-long interest. Income potential matches its ornamental promise, as its growth is upright and strong. It is not patented, and almost never develops the disease problems associated with C. florida.
