Chinese Dogwood
Cornus kousa
This is a broadly conical Chinese dogwood which is renowned for its spectacular autumn foliage colours. It bears small green flowers in June which are surrounded by large, tapered, creamy-white flower bracts which fade to red-pink at the edges. The foliage is dark green, turning to crimson-purple in autumn before falling. It is an excellent specimen tree for a small area of garden or woodland edge.
