Cornus kousa 'Greensleeves'

Common Name: Greensleeves Dogwood

Cappiello and Shadow, in their book, Dogwoods, call it one of the very best kousa varieties. 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 suffused with a hint of green on cream. Heavy fruit set against deep green waxy foliage that turns to robust autumn shades of red and purple.
