This is a terrific introduction from the Dogwood breeding Program at Rutgers University. From Rutgers "The dramatic bracts glow pink from a distance unlike any other dogwood we have seen." and "The medium-to-large-size bracts are generally non-overlapping and pointed giving them a very distinct shape that along with their striking color sets this plant apart from other Kousa dogwoods in the landscape." grows to about 25' tall and 20 feet wide.
