Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Supposed to be the brightest red (pink) flowering C. kousa available. Haven't seen a plant blooming but pictures are beautiful.

By: Gossler Farms

After a couple years of being established, the abundance of 4-5 inch lighter pink flowers will emerge as a dark-pink to fuchsia, unique from other dogwoods. Summer blooms can last for up to 8 weeks! Very showy, low maintenance, drought tolerant, and disease resistant. Fruits are red, 1 inch and round. The leaves are an attractive dark green, transitioning to red in the fall. A truly stunning tree. PP 28311
