Summer Gold Dogwood
Cornus kousa 'Summer Gold'
Cornus kousa 'Summer Gold' is a stunning cultivar of the Kousa Dogwood known for its vibrant golden foliage that emerges in spring and lasts through summer. This deciduous tree typically grows to a height of 15-20 feet and a spread of 10-15 feet at maturity. The foliage of 'Summer Gold' emerges a bright golden yellow in spring, creating a striking contrast against the tree's darker bark. As the season progresses, the foliage transitions to a chartreuse green color, adding interest and texture to the landscape. In the summer, the tree produces a profusion of small, creamy white flowers that are followed by attractive red berries that persist well into the fall season. 'Summer Gold' is a relatively slow-growing tree that is ideal for small gardens or as a specimen plant. Its compact size and attractive foliage make it a great choice for planting in a mixed border or as a focal point in a woodland garden. It is also tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions, making it a versatile addition to any landscape.
