Cornus kousa var. chinensis
Choose Kousa Dogwood if you want a dependable flowering tree with bark, fruit, and fall color; the tradeoff is that it flowers after leaf-out and needs room to spread.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives flowers, fruit, bark texture, and fall color without relying on one short season. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows steadily, but it is not the tree to buy if you need fast shade. |
| Maintenance | A- | It is generally easier to manage than many traditional flowering dogwoods when sited in drained soil. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C+ | It can work in a modest yard, but not in a tight bed close to walks, walls, or the house. |
| Screening Value | D | This is an ornamental tree, not a privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Kousa Dogwood where a homeowner wants one reliable ornamental tree, not a fast screen or a tight foundation plant.
| Mature Height | 25 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 22.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 5a-9b |
| Spacing | 22.5 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Moisture | Dry to average |
| Growth Habit | Upright, spreading, layered |
Not exactly; it blooms later, after the leaves are out, with a different layered look.
No, if it has decent drainage and enough space for its canopy.
Yes, but give it room; do not squeeze it tight against the foundation.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
