Cornus kousa 'Greensleeves'
Cornus kousa 'Snow Tower' is a compact dogwood with masses of single white flowers and striking fall colour.
Description:
Cornus kousa 'Greensleeves' is widely viewed by experts to be one of the best varieties of Korean dogwood. It is a strong and robust grower with handsome foliage and abundant, large, creamy white flowers with a hint of green in late spring and early summer. The deep green waxy foliage makes a wonderful backdrop for the masses of bright red, edible, strawberry-like fruit in late summer and fall. The foliage then turns to bold shades of red and purple in autumn. It will eventually reach 15-20 feet tall and wide. Attracts butterflies in spring and birds to the fruit in fall. Deer resistant. For the 2024 Rare Flowering Tree Pre-Order plants will be in 1g pots and about 1-2 feet tall.
