CORNUS kousa ‘Samaritan’ (Samzam, Japanese dogwood)

Description

CORNUS kousa ‘Samaritan’ is sometimes also called CORNUS kousa ‘Samzam’ (synonym). It is a Japanese dogwood.
The flowers appear in spring. At first, they are green with a white edge and relatively narrow. It’s a curiosity. When mature, they become white with a size as wide as they are long, but always pointed.
Then, in summer, the red fruits develop. They decorate this little tree until fall.
At this time, the leaves, usually green with white edges, take on flamboyant colors.
