Kousa Dogwood Branch with Flower The opposite (paired) leaves are typical of dogwoods. What look like petals are actually 4 sepals, specialized leaves that originally enclose the flowers in the bud stage. |
Immature Kousa Dogwood Blossom The inconspicuous, tiny, true flowers will emerge from the globe in the center of the immature, green sepals. |
Kousa Dogwood Flowers The sepals turn white, and the true flowers bloom on the central globe when they mature. |
Kousa Dogwood Branch With Fruit Soft, red, globular, long-stalked fruits, containing hard seeds, ripen in early- to mid-fall. |
Kousa Dogwood Fruit Trees with the largest, most abundant fruit are usually the tastiest ones. |
