Cornus kousa 'Greensleeves'

Authors and plantsmen Paul Cappiello and Don Shadow call it one of the very best Cornus kousa varieties in their book, Dogwoods. Our own experience and that of growers across a broad range confirms their evaluation. Strong growth makes it a great nursery plant, and its handsome foliage and abundant flowers give it universal appeal. Flowers are suffused with a hint of green on cream. Heavy fruit set contrasts with deep green waxy foliage that turns to autumn shades of red and purple.
