Cornus kousa 'Snow Tower' will be the envy of the neighborhood with flowers that bloom later and longer than other varieties, extending the dogwood season. The name won't disappoint with branches covered in heavenly white blossoms reminiscent of the last heavy snowfall. Dark green foliage in summer turns to a reddish-purple in fall. Textured bark in the winter tops off its four season appeal. Edible strawberry-like fruit attracts humans and birds alike in late summer. This small tree has a tight and upright form to 10-15 feet tall and 4-8 feet wide. Attracts butterflies in spring. Deer resistant. For the 2024 Rare Flowering Tree Pre-Order plants will be in 1g pots and about 2-3 feet tall.

This lovely columnar dogwood makes the perfect choice for smaller gardens or patios. Reaching only 10-15' tall by 4-6' wide, its smaller size does not apply to the blooms which can be up to 7" wide! The large white spring flowers and bright-red edible fruits make a bold statement in a small package. Foliage turns deep shades of scarlet in autumn too. S-PSh/M PPAF
