Kousa dogwood or japanese flowering dogwood is a handsome small specimen tree or shrub. The Kousa is not as susceptible to disease as the white dogwood in spring. It is planted as a specimen, near a patio, or in groupings. Blooms later and with a softer petal flower than the white flowering dogwood. Because of its disease resistance, it is becoming the best replacement for the white dogwood.
