There are very few flowering understory trees as attractive as a dogwood tree, but these days they have become susceptible to the potentially fatal fungal disease known as dogwood anthracnose. Luckily, a substitute has been found in the Kousa dogwood. Kousa can do wonders for a landscape design by adding four-season interest, with pleasing blooms and bracts that come in a star-shaped pattern of leaves. Edible berries appear in spring, which are a visual delight and offer a delicious treat to the wildlife.
