The Kousa Dogwood (Cornus kousa) is a small deciduous tree native to East Asia, particularly China, Japan, and Korea. It typically grows to about 15 to 30 feet tall and features attractive, layered branches. The tree is known for its stunning white or pink flowers that bloom in late spring, followed by small, edible fruits that ripen in summer. Kousa Dogwood thrives in well-drained soil and prefers partial shade to full sun. It is often used in landscaping for its ornamental value and seasonal interest. Additionally, the tree is resistant to many common diseases that affect other dogwood species, making it a popular choice for gardens.
