Attract Pollinators With Beautiful Spring Flowers

Since the White flowering Dogwood tree is a small deciduous tree, it will begin the year leafless during late winter. Early spring brings white dogwood blossoms that are tiny, yellowish green and shaped as dainty button-like clusters. Each Cornus Kousa Dogwood flower cluster has four showy, white, petal-like leaves which open flat. This gives the appearance of a single, four-petaled, white bract.

In the fall, the medium sized flowers will turn into dark red berries that are bright red fruit for wildlife including deer, several species of birds, and squirrels. Interestingly enough, the Kousa Dogwood fruit is edible for human consumption too and can be made into jellies, jams, or wine. The dark green foliage turns a deep reddish purple to signify the start of the fall season and to put on a show for some serious Kousa Dogwood fall color.

Not only are the creamy white flowers and fall foliage a major selling point, but dogwood trees also have eye catching colorful bark. The trunk and bark are speckled in shades of tans, browns, and gray and provide an attractive appearance during winter when the flowering tree is bare.

Can You Eat Kousa Dogwood Fruit?

Yes, the berries of the Kousa Dogwood tree are edible. While The berries have soft pulp and flesh and have similar flavor and taste to persimmons. Kousa Dogwood tree berries also have seeds in the fruit’s flesh and it can be difficult to eat the berries without removing the seeds first. The rind is also edible but is not usually eaten.

Planting Kousa Dogwood

Your order will include planting instructions. The best time to plant dogwood trees is in early spring or summer so it has the whole growing season to establish. Dig a hole that is twice as deep and wide as the pot it comes in. 

Plant this Dogwood Cornus Kousa tree in moist, acidic soil types that are well-drained soil for best results. Place the root ball into the planting hole and backfill with native soil or amended soil. You can add organic garden soil or acidic soil to the hole if your soil is not moist or fertile enough. 

This ornamental tree grows in drought tolerant areas but be sure to water thoroughly the first year of planting to establish a strong root system. A 2-3 inch layer of organic matter or mulch will help to retain moisture. Since they have shallow root systems, it is okay to plant this beautiful tree closer to large structures or houses.

When Do White Dogwoods Bloom?

The White Dogwood tree will bloom in early spring and has an overlapping flower bloom period with the redbud trees. Plant our White flowering Dogwood Tree at ground level to accentuate any landscape with its dark green leaves and beautiful white blossoms.

Native to East Asia, it has low-branching, broadly pyramidal limbs but flat-topped growth habit and is vase shaped. Perfect for small planting sites and even has the capabilities of being planted under power lines. You can plant the Kousa tree in foundation plantings, privacy hedges, or as stand alone trees where they can be seen and enjoyed in all their glory. The reddish-brown wood is extremely hard and shock resistant, perfect to make handles for tools such as chisels or golf club heads.

When to Prune Kousa Dogwood Tree?

You have two options for pruning this tree. To promote flowering, Kousa dogwood pruning should take place in summer after it has finished its bloom period. The tree will have leaves so it may be more difficult to see the branch structure. But you will not risk cutting off any of the flower buds as they grows on previous years growth. To promote a healthy branch structure, we recommend pruning in late winter or early spring while the tree is dormant. This can help you shape the tree to your desired shape and height. The downside is that you will cut off that years flowers on whatever branches you decide to trim off.

How to Prune a Kousa Dogwood

Shaping a Kousa Dogwood is only necessary to prune the dogwood trees to maintain desired size and shape. Cut back dead or diseased branches in early spring before the active growing season begins. To promote a more shrublike appaerance, prune off the top third of the tree. This will encourage new branching towards the bottom half of the tree. Prune the Kousa tree to your desired height and size to help maintain a good structure.

Kousa White Dogwood Tree Care

Caring for Kousa Dogwood Trees starts with the perfect planting site. Carefully plan out where you want to plant your new dogwood tree in the landscape. The dwarf Kousa Dogwood hardiness zones grow best in USDA growing zones 5-9 of the United States.

Dogwood trees prefer a site in the yard where there is full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, it is best to choose an area with morning sun and partial afternoon shade that is protected from the hot afternoon sun. You can even plant these small trees beneath taller trees as understory trees where they can thrive in the shade.

Although they are relatively free of pests and diseases, the Dogwood Borer pest sometimes does attack young dogwood trees. If left untreated it could be fatal. Insecticide may be needed to treat extremely bad cases. Apply a slow release fertilizer to the root ball to encourage growth and protect against fungal diseases such as leaf spotting and powdery mildew.

How Big Do Kousa Dogwoods Get?

The Kousa Dogwood size typically grows 15 to 25 feet tall and 15 feet wide as an established dogwood. It is a small dwarf dogwood variety that is perfect for small gardens.

How Fast Does a White Dogwood Tree Grow?

The Kousa Dogwood growth rate is slow to moderate growing, about 1 foot per year as a newly planted tree.

Truly non-toxic but a little rough and uneven
I’m very impressed with the packaging of this. When I first opened the box I was shocked that there was a plastic wrapping around the boards when they promised to be non toxic but then I saw the sticker that the wrapping was not plastic and I was very happy. The boards themselves are pretty nice and a good thickness but the only thing is I feel like the board is a little rough and parts of the board come up and are not smooth.

Not Durable…Splintered….
Had to chuck these. I loved them at first but they are not durable. Scratched themselves up right away and then the mid sized one started to splinter. I didn’t even have it for very long before I had to get rid of them. Long enough to not be able to return. I prefer the bamboo as far as wood goes, but switched to an antibacterial. It’s crazy because I had the same cutting boards for years and in the past month I’ve had to replace them 3 times now. I was so disappointed because there were such amazing reviews. Sadly that was not the case for me. I give it a 3 because they are absolutely beautiful…..you get points for being beautiful I suppose in this world. But not durable. At least not for me.

Fascinating exploration of God's Word!
Urban Legends of the New Testament: 40 Common Misperceptions is an impressive work by David A. Croteau that discusses 40 "commonly circulated myths, repeated throughout the culture as common knowledge, but which isn't true." But we're talking about the infallible Word of God, right? That is correct. But according to the author, certain passages of the New Testament have become victims of the notorious Urban Legend phenomena. The titles of each chapter are the actual legends and are presented as if the author really believes what he is writing to be true. The reader will soon find out that is not the case. Croteau goes on to discuss the incorrect interpretation versus an accurate interpretation and then ends the chapter with his opinion of what the text means, followed by a practical application section. The presentation and discussion of each myth is clear, although some are harder to piece through than others. The length of the chapters vary according to the history of the myth and depth of the discussion. Topics vary from the birth, life, and crucifixion of Jesus to Paul's profession, the plan of salvation, hell, divorce, money, pastors and their families, and cults. You can pick up the book and read only the chapters that interest you, although I do encourage you to read the introduction and epilogue. The prologue discusses two types of legends: a mistaken-contains wrong information; misleading-those that need clarification. The cause and solution for urban legends of the New Testament come down to three components: Context, Greek, and Backgrounds. Croteau clearly discusses this at the end of the book and my only criticism is that I would have liked that information in the introduction. I believe it would have aided in my overall structure for comprehension. Overall, the research was fascinating and I learned—a lot. This quote from the final conclusion summarizes the purpose of this book: "In the end our goal should be to interpret Scripture as accurately as possible, to apply that interpretation to our own lives, and to be transformed by God's Word so that our lives may bring glory to the One who rescued us from an eternal destiny in hell." I highly recommend this book to all readers. Don't plan to read it in one sitting. Use it as a study guide and tool to inspire you to dig deeper into God's Word.

Only Orthodoxy Will Lead to Orthopraxy and Orthopathy
Format: Kindle
This book authored by David Croteau is truly an enjoyable yet at the same time a convicting read. Even though it was written about 10 years ago, the principles of interpretation advocated by him to deal with the "mistaken and misleading legends" are timeless. Out of the 40 legends, I have encountered at least half of them in the local church, writings and even seminary especially issues pertaining to salvation, Christian living and women's adornment. The main takeaway is this: Just as there are three things that matter in property: "Location, Location, Location", similarly the three main things that matter in interpretation of the Word is: "Context, Greek, and Background Information", or even simpler: "Context, Context, Context". David Croteau has demonstrated in his 40 legends the utmost importance of context in correctly interpreting a particular passage which was unfortunately taken out of context. The interpretation can further be handled even more accurately by taking into account the Greek language and the socio-historical background behind the text. In fact, I have been focusing on these three elements in my hermeneutical approach whenever I come across passages which I need more understanding. I don't know Greek; but with the many useful online Greek tools nowadays, I can always do a word study which more or less balances my lacking of Greek knowledge. Also, the study of socio-historical background is extremely illuminating if one have access to these resources. Personally, I discover that a proper understanding of background information can eliminate most of the mistaken or misleading interpretation of a text. Lastly, I totally agree with David Croteau's conclusion: "In the end our goal should be to interpret Scripture as accurately as possible, to apply that interpretation to our own lives, and to be transformed by God’s Word so that our lives may bring glory to the One who rescued us from an eternal destiny in hell." His conclusion reminds me of a phrase which I encountered years ago: "Orthodoxy Will Lead to Orthopraxy and Orthopathy." Indeed, only by "accurately handling the word of truth" (2 Tim 2:15) can we realise the necessity of holy living and the proper response that we should have towards our living God.
