It's nice to meet you also Kathy. It sure is a healthy looking tree you have. This is my first year growing cornus kousa. I plan on grafting some named cultivars next year. Have you seen any of the variegated kousa cultivars
Some also have some very beautiful fruit that hang on the tree for a long time.
There are also some cultivars from Ukraine that are breed to have tasty fruits. Most of the ones in the US produce fruit that are too bitter to eat. I'm a huge fan of unusual edibles so the Ukraine cultivars have been on my radar for a while now.
Thanks for sharing your photos with us. I look forward to seeing many more landscape photos from you.
