Cornus Kousa chinensis

Mine died this year. But this is beautiful. Please send me details How you take care for it. Thank you very much.

Absolutely gorgeous Amy . . . one of my all time favourites, except that mine doesn't flower like this, lol! Apparently they prefer acid soil: is that what you have? I was at the Savill Garden in Surrey recently, and they had masses of these, also smothered, wonderful.

Added to faves :))

Kat I'm sorry you lost yours we don't do anything at all to take care of it ,it's planted in a position in the open where it gets full sun /rain /snow everything that's thrown at it , Sheila it's my favourite to it normally flowers well , I'm wondering if they have off years where they store up energy ! or it might be due to the weather, yes we do have acid soil maybe that is the answer ,I would love one of the pink ones :o))

Mine have acidic soil too, but just Cornus florida (pink one) bloomed this and last year. It is slowly growing bush and also blooms after some years, however my question was targeted on fertilisation during the year.

I've never given it any fertiliser Kat Nothing at all I've checked with Hubby and he hasn't either whatever it's getting naturally must agree with it ....

Have you ever pruned it Amy?

Only little bits to try to keep it in a good shape Klahanie ,i'm worried I'll upset it if I do too much LOL ...

Just beautiful Amy! It looks incredible this year....:))

Ours has done the same, last year it was dreadful, thought we would have to take it out, a great pic Amy.

Gorgeous, a real dazzler.

Thanks Gill / Angela it will be intersting to see what happens next year maybe it's one year on and one year off saving it's strength !

It is really beautiful.....I have added it to my favourites.

Thanks Linda ,if I had to save one shrub in the garden it would probably be this :o)

What an amazing display, its Gorgeous;0)
