Product page > Variant picker block.National Kousa Dogwood (Cornus kousa 'National') is one of the earliest Dogwoods to start blooming each year. National Kousa Dogwood features showy clusters of light green flowers with creamy white bracts held atop the branches in late spring. It features an abundance of magnificent red berries from early to mid fall. It has green foliage throughout the season. The pointy leaves turn brick red in fall. The peeling gray bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape.
Two things to remember, when planting dogwood trees, they do not like to have their crown covered with soil or mulch. Because of that, plant the tree with soil approximately one inch from the top of the soil (crown). Also, dogwood love fertilizer and we recommend appying Espoma Tree Tone Fertilizer in late February here in Tennessee.
