Common name: Flowering dogwood
Scientific name: Cornus kousa
Family: Cornaceae
Plant history & use:
The flowering dogwood is a small, dense shrub native to Northeast Asia. In spring, it produces numerous bright white flowers that brighten up shady areas in the garden. In late summer, the tree produces peculiar pinkish-red edible fruits, 2-3 cm in diameter.
These fruits can be used to make jam or bake pies. In Asia, they are used to make juice and ferment into wine.
The bark on thicker trunks flakes and creates a beautiful pattern of varied colors.
The leaves on the tree also turn a beautiful bright red/orange color in the fall.
Culture:
The flowering dogwood is a deciduous tree that thrives in most of Sweden. The tree is relatively long-lived (50-150 years) and is hardy to cold climates.
Unlike many plants, flowering dogwood thrives in shady locations. It should also be protected from the wind. If the tree is in direct sun, the tree tends to produce more fruit, but of smaller size.
An optimal location for the flowering dogwood is under one or more taller deciduous trees - which provide shade and add organic matter to the soil - surrounded by additional vegetation in different layers. This contributes to the moist, wind-protected and semi-shady environment in which the flowering dogwood grows best. The tree's bright blooms can also brighten an otherwise shady "grove". The flowering dogwood has low maintenance requirements and produces large recurring harvests every year.
For the reasons mentioned above, the flowering dogwood is an excellent tree to have in a woodland garden. If you don't have such a place in your growing area, a planting spot with morning sun and afternoon shade also works well.
