Cornus kousa 'Milky Way'
A beautiful small tree that puts on a dazzling show of white, star-like blooms 3 to 4 weeks after traditional white dogwoods. In fall, it produces attractive strawberry-like red fruit and its dark green foliage turns a vibrant red, adding multi-season interest.
Reaches about 20' tall and wide, making it a perfect choice for small yards or as a striking focal point.
Growing Tips:
Thrives in humus-rich, well-drained soil with medium moisture. Prefers full sun to part shade and performs well in sandy loams. Appreciates consistent watering during hot summer months.(Image: Brehob Nurseries)
