Cornus kousa Scarlet Fire

A stunning smaller tree, Cornus kousa Scarlet Fire is the magnificent culmination of many years' work to produce the first ever dark pink blooming C. kousa Dogwood tree. Showing off dramatic large bracts that will totally smother the tree when in full bloom, the amazing dark pink to fuchsia coloured blooms make this easy to grow tree a standout. In Summer bright red berries follow on and Autumn the foliage takes on the magnificent hues of purple and red making this truly a tree for all seasons.

Like all Cornus species, Cornus kousa Scarlet Fire is very easy to grow and requires a minimum of care. Grows well in a sunny to partly shaded position and requires regular watering during hot spells. Foliage can burn in warmer climates so will do best in a sheltered position with some shade; this pest and disease resistant tree suits both formal and cottage type of gardens and grows well in most of the cooler parts of Australia.
