2. Kousa Dogwood
Are you looking for a small tree that will make all of your neighbors jealous of your dreamy landscape? Then you should plant this beautiful little guy called Kousa Dogwood.
It might be small, but don’t be fooled by its size, because it will put on an incredible spring show with its gorgeous white or pink blooms. And the spectacle doesn’t end at the same time as spring does! This small tree will keep flourishing even in the late summer, with its bears’ red fruit.
And once the temperature gets more chilly and the days are shorter, Kousa Dogwood will make sure to impress everyone with its attractive reddish-purple autumn foliage.

Had a Japanese Maple in Woodland Hills, CA. It was supposed to be a miniature but it got reallly big. It was a beauty when the seasons changed. I do miss it.
Surprised to see the first picture of One I had out in California.
I forgot it’s name and wanted to get one for the NY area
I like Rose of Sharon aka Althea. It comes in several colors—white, purple and pink are the colors I’m familiar with. It can be trimmed to look more tree-like or allowed to grow as a bush. My mother grew them when I was young.
Which trees will grow on a wind swept, open hill 200 feet from the Bay of Fundy?
I have crepe myrtles – but his year (first time in about 40 years) the bark scale invaded our neighborhood – any recommendations for what to do – sprayed with Neem oil – and cut severely infected branches.
Would be helpful if the zones the trees will grow in were included.
Add Powder Puff.
