'Scarlet Fire' burst on the scene in 2016, and still holds the title of 'most intensely pink flowered Kousa Dogwood in existence'. This impressive drought tolerant small tree covers itself with large four pointed blooms in tones of deep pink to fuchsia. Pinkish-red fruit attract birds in late summer and autumn.
