Greensleeves Kousa Dogwood - Cornus kousa 'Greensleeves'

The remarkable Greensleeves Kousa Dogwood tree is sure to be the star of your garden show. Even at a height of 15-20 ft, this deciduous tree is considered small, perfect for woodland gardens or shrub borders. It provides seasonal interest in spring, summer and fall, showing off its white flowers, pink fruit, and vibrant red and purple foliage as the weather turns cooler. The lush, green canopy provides wonderful shade in the summer, and can encourage shade dwelling flowers to thrive below it.

Notable Characteristics - Greensleeves Kousa Dogwood

This lush tree has glossy, dark green leaves that are round and pointed at the tips. It grows in a low branching, vase shape, with interweaving branches that create a thick, green canopy. As it matures, it develops a rounder shape, extending its branches out horizontally and growing more widespread. The Greensleeves Kousa Dogwood flowers in spring, sprouting small, creamy white blossoms with pointed petals and a light green center, which are beautiful against the dark green leaves. In summer the flowers fade to reveal a strawberry-like, salmon pink fruit that is edible, and will attract birds and insects. The bark adds visual dimension to this plant as well, as it has exfoliating patches of tan bark under the grey-brown outer layer.

Landscape and Maintenance

The Greensleeves Kousa Dogwood is native to east asia, specifically Japan, China and Korea. In the United States, it has several native relatives and has naturalized to the area alongside them. This tree is hardy, drought resistant, and resilient to cooler temperatures. It can also tolerate more shade and sunlight variations than its native relatives. It is deer resistant and thrives in well-drained soil with moderate but consistent watering. This tree is naturally well balanced, and thus requires little to no pruning, making it low maintenance and simple to care for. Its deep, rich, green color and creamy white blossoms, finished off by summer pink fruits make it visually stunning, and the perfect addition to your garden space.

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees

Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.

Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.
