Description
The Greensleeves Kousa Dogwood (Cornus kousa ‘Greensleeves’) is a highly ornamental, disease-resistant variety of the beloved Kousa Dogwood, offering extended blooming, vibrant foliage, and beautiful fall color. In late spring to early summer, this tree bursts into a profusion of creamy-white flowers that age to soft green, standing out against its deep green leaves. By late summer, its unique strawberry-like red fruits emerge, attracting birds and pollinators while adding decorative charm.
Growing 15-25 feet with a graceful, spreading habit, this dogwood provides dappled shade and year-round interest. As autumn approaches, the foliage turns golden-orange to red, creating a spectacular seasonal display. Even in winter, the tree’s mottled, exfoliating bark adds texture and elegance to the landscape. With its exceptional disease resistance, particularly against anthracnose, and ability to thrive in varied soil conditions, Greensleeves Kousa Dogwood is a low-maintenance and long-lived addition to any garden.
