Barton Arboretum and Nature Preserve

of Medford Leas

May 28 to June 3, 2017 – Kousa Dogwood

Cornus Kousa, commonly known as Kousa Dogwood, is a specimen tree currently in bloom on both Campuses. This tree typically reaches a maximum height of 15-30’. In late May and early June, the tree offers creamy colored flowers, which cover almost the entire tree. These flowers are followed by berry-like fruits which mature throughout the summer and last into the fall season. These berries make a feast for the birds later this year. There is a Kousa Dogwood for all to enjoy in the Atrium on the Medford Campus.
