Common name: Flowering Dogwood
Scientific name: Cornus kousa
Family: Cornaceae
Plant history & use:
Flowering Dogwood is a dense, small bush tree originating from Northeast Asia. In spring, it produces numerous bright white flowers that brighten shaded areas in the garden. At the end of summer, the tree bears peculiar pink-red edible fruits about 2-3 cm in diameter.
These fruits can be made into jam or baked into pies. In Asia, juice is made from them and they are fermented into wine.
The bark on thicker trunks flakes off and creates a beautiful pattern of varied colours.
The leaves of the tree also turn a beautiful bright red/orange colour in autumn.
Cultivation:
Flowering Dogwood is a deciduous tree that thrives well in most parts of Sweden. The tree is relatively long-lived (50-150 years) and hardy against cold climates.
Unlike many plants, Flowering Dogwood thrives well in shady locations. It also prefers to be sheltered from wind. When the tree stands in direct sun, it tends to produce more fruits, but of smaller size.
An optimal growing place for the Flowering Dogwood is under one or several taller deciduous trees – which provide shade and add organic material to the soil – surrounded by additional vegetation in various layers. This contributes to the moist, wind-sheltered, and partly shaded environment in which the Flowering Dogwood grows best. The tree’s brightly shining blossoms can also brighten an otherwise shady "grove". Flowering Dogwood has low care demands and yields large recurring harvests every year.
For the above reasons, Flowering Dogwood is an excellent tree to have in a food forest. If you do not have such a place on your growing area, a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade also works well.
