The Galilean® Kousa Dogwood (Cornus kousa 'Galzam') is a robust, upright, vase-shaped deciduous tree, noted for its exceptionally large, dark green leaves and massive 4-inch creamy-white flowers. Growing 15–25 feet tall, it thrives in full sun to partial shade, offering disease resistance, late spring blooms, and edible, strawberry-like red fruit. 

Key Characteristics and Overview: 

  • Flowers & Foliage: Produces large, pointed white bracts (flowers) in May-June, often lasting for over a month. The leaves are notably larger than standard Kousa dogwoods, providing a deep green, lush appearance in summer.
  • Fruit & Fall Color: Produces edible, "raspberry-like" pinkish-red fruit in late summer that attracts birds. In autumn, the foliage transitions to shades of pink and burgundy.
  • Form & Structure: The tree has a dense, upright, vase-shaped habit that can become more open and horizontally-tiered with age.
  • Growth & Care: Features a moderate growth rate, reaching about 
    20−25 feet high and 10−20 feet wide. It thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and prefers consistent moisture.
  • Landscape Use: Excellent for use as a focal point, specimen tree, or in shrub borders. It is highly prized for its resistance to diseases that often plague native dogwoods.
  • Hardiness: Generally hardy in Zones 5-8. 

This cultivar is a superior choice for homeowners seeking a disease-resistant, showy, and smaller ornamental tree with multi-season interest.
