Chinese Dogwood

A beautiful addition to any garden, this slow-growing deciduous tree boasts beautiful elegantly overlapping branches, which will bear clusters of white-cream bracts followed by deep pink in summer. Cornus kousa Chinensis has attractive leaves turning red and orange in autumn, eventually boasting quirky, strawberry-like fruit. Excellent tree for a smaller garden, but equally happy in a large garden.
