    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This tree is another winner from Rutgers University and their fabulous dogwood program. Becoming a lovely 25' or more tree with a spread of 20'. Masses of white flowers with a soft greenish tint in spring become brilliant red fruit. This hybrid (C. kousa x C. nuttallii) is extremely disease-resistant and shows good drought tolerance as well. A wonderful vigorous tree that should not be missed! S-PSh/M/GDr PP16293
