It flowers 2 or 3 weeks after the American flowering dogwood, once the leaves have opened fully. However, the flowering is so profuse that the leaves are hidden by the beautiful large, pink blooms of this tree.

The bark in winter has interesting patterns of tan, gray and orange. - Spectacular blooming in early to mid-summer - Amazing large pink flowers smother the branches - Strawberry-like fruits in fall - Powerful fall colors of oranges, reds and golds - Easier to grow than the American dogwood The Pink Kousa Dogwood is easier to grow than the American flowering dogwood, and less prone to diseases. It grows best in richer soils that are moist but well-drained, and alkaline soils are not suitable. It is hardy in zones 5 to 8 and it grows in all areas that dont have very dry summers. Water regularly during dry periods. Pests and diseases are not major issues, and deer dont bother with it. An outstanding tree that is worth the little attention it may need. No pruning is required.
