The Pink Kousa Dogwood (Cornus kousa) is easier to grow than the American flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) and less prone to diseases like powdery mildew. The Pink Kousa Dogwood provides year-round ornamental value with spring flowering bracts, berries in the fall and winter, and distinctively exfoliating bark. Pink Kousa are among the most deer-resistant of the species, making them ideal for areas with heavy deer pressure.
