Cornus kousa 'Scarlet Fire' is a stunning new cultivar recently introduced by Rutgers University. This deciduous tree is highly valued for its outstanding ornamental features, including its bright red flowers, exceptional disease resistance, and easy-to-grow nature. In early summer, 'Scarlet Fire' produces a profusion of large, showy flowers that are a brilliant shade of red. The flowers are borne on strong, upright stems that stand out against the tree's dark green foliage. As the flowers age, they gradually fade to a soft pink, creating a beautiful and eye-catching effect. In fall, the tree's foliage turns a rich shade of burgundy, adding to its ornamental value. 'Scarlet Fire' grows to a height of 20-25 feet and a spread of 15-20 feet at maturity. It has a dense and rounded growth habit, making it an excellent choice for larger gardens or as a statement tree in smaller landscapes. It is also highly adaptable to various soil types and is known for its excellent disease resistance. It's an excellent choice for planting as a specimen plant, in a mixed border, or as a focal point in a woodland garden. As a unique and highly valued cultivar, 'Scarlet Fire' is a must-have for any gardener or landscaper looking to create a beautiful and elegant outdoor space.
