Cornus kousa 'Akatsuki'...New 2013...SOLD OUT!
This introduction from Japan offers an ever-changing pallet of form and color that will brighten any garden. 'Akatsuki' is a new introduction from Japan that is very special. In Spring the leaves are bright green and white, each one totally unique in its markings and some flushed pink. If there were no further attributes the spring and summer foliage alone would make Akatsuki dogwood worth growing. But in late spring, early summer, masses of single blooms (actually bracts) cover the tree. They are white, beautifully streaked with rosy-pink, the combined effect making these some of the prettiest flowers anywhere. In the fall, the foliage turns astounding shades of purple, pink, rose and mauve. The colors are so complex and rich that again the tree takes center stage in the garden, and the show lasts for weeks. Finally with the coming of winter the long foliage display fades and the tasty red fruits decorate the branches and provide food for wildlife.

This compact, bushy selection was discovered in 1995, a witch's broom growing in a Ginkgo tree in the Netherlands.

The slow-growing, deciduous conifer makes a high-interest architectural feature, a flat, rounded, form, for either small garden or container. - 2010 Collector's Conifer of the Year
