Cornus kousa is a versatile deciduous tree reaching 15 to 30 feet. It begins with an upright, vase-shaped habit, eventually maturing into a rounded form with elegant horizontal branching. Its dark green, pointed leaves transform into a brilliant scarlet or reddish-purple in autumn. This hardy species thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil. Highly resistant to anthracnose, it is a superior ornamental choice for lawns, woodland gardens, or as a striking specimen plant.
