Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Cornus Rosy Teacups has stunning deep pink blossoms in late May and early June followed by intense red fall colour. A cross between Chinese and North American dogwood species (C. kousa x C. nuttallii), it is a more floriferous, drought and disease tolerant than its parents. Flowers hold their colour longer and the tree's habit is more rounded and fully branched. One of the best pinks available. Grows 15-20 feet tall and 10-15 feet wide. Cultivar name: 'F70:R11,P13'. For the 2025 Rare Flowering Tree Pre-Order plants will be in 1g pots and about 1-2 feet tall.
Has pointed rich pink bracts in May-June. This Rutgers hybrid has been really appreciated by those gardeners who have seen the plant.
Dark pink-rose flowers up to 3 inches wide cover this very floriferous 20-25' tree in spring. Stunning as a specimen with its dense habit growing slightly wider than it is tall. This lovely tree is adorned in late summer with large red-orange fruits and bright red leaves in autumn. Blooming at a young age, disease resistant and no winter die back; this is a near perfect tree! S-PSh-M
This selection of Dogwood has some of the most stunning pink-red blossoms out there. Also has amazing red fall color! Growth Rate medium
Another very fine hybrid from Dr. Orton, this kousa nuttallii hybrid has stunning pink-red blossoms. this is superior to any reds on the market. A well branched and free flowering tree, it is disease restistant, hardy and has great red fall color.
