Satomi Dogwood

The Satomi Dogwood, Cornus kousa 'Satomi', produces deep pink flowers that covers the horizontal spreading branches in April to May. This Japanese selection will make an elegant specimen tree. It is very hardy and flowers later than other dogwoods. You will most assuredly note its spectacular not at all white color, which is more like popsicle pink. This kousa blooms not only in a different color, but at a different time about a month after every other dogwood is through. Being very hardy and disease resistant, Satomi Dogwood prefers full sun to light shade with a well drained, somewhat acidic soil. Satomi will produce pink red fruits that appear in autumn.
