I just found out my beautiful ornamental tree is a Kousa Dogwood! Had no idea- was here when I bought my house. Year rround appeal- flowers,berries, bark, and brilliant red fall color! 🙂

I'm just curious if all Kousa Dogwoods are native to China? I know you said repeatedly "our native dogwood" but which varieties were you referencing? I do love the fact the China version can take full sun. People seem to keep them in the shade here. I do know a Cherokee Cheif and a Cherokee Princess are both varieties which can be grown at a high 5 zone within Missouri.

he wasn't referring to a variety, he was referring to a species within the same genus Cornus, most likely the Cornus florida.

It's recommended not to plant trees near your foundation. Especially a dogwood. Tree roots are as long as the tree is tall. So I'd recommend avoiding planting on a corner bed of your house and remain a good 15ft away. Proper watering will ensure your roots travel deeper into the earth instead of near the surface.

Don't plant over a sidewalk or driveway...super messy fruit that smash and smear with a light broom sweep. My arch nemesis in the fall!

@@gabrielM1111 just prune them. It can be pruned quite severely, but not as much as hedge shrubs/trees, such as hawthorn, hornbeam, blackthorn.
