The Cora Flowering Dogwood Tree puts on a magnificent spring display of coral-red blooms all along its bare branches. These are followed by attractive heart-shaped leaves that turn deep red and scarlet in fall. This vigorous tree soon becomes a broad, spreading specimen passing 20 feet tall and wide. It is perfect for a featured tree on your lawn, or at the back of your garden beds. Plant an avenue along a driveway or add it to the margins of woodlands. This beautiful tree is coveted by all gardeners who love the unique and exceptional in their gardens.
The Coral Flowering Dogwood Tree grows best in full sun, or with some afternoon shade. It grows in most soils, preferring rich, moist, slightly acidic ones that are well-drained. Although moderately drought tolerant it prefers to be watered regularly, and it needs no special care to soon become a beautiful garden tree. If grown with good light and regular water, it will normally remain disease free. Pests are normally not a problem, but avoid using string-trimmers around the base, which can encourage borers.
