The "Cornus kousa 'Elizabeth Lustgarten' Weeping" (also known as Weeping Kousa Dogwood) is a cultivar of the Kousa dogwood known for its elegant, weeping form, showy white flowers, and vibrant red fall foliage, making it a popular ornamental tree. 
 
Key Features:
  • Weeping Form:
    The branches gracefully cascade downwards, creating a visually striking, weeping effect. 
     
  • Showy Flowers:
    In late spring, it produces clusters of delicate, white flowers with white bracts. 
     
  • Vibrant Fall Color:
    The leaves turn a striking red in the fall, adding to its ornamental appeal. 
     
  • Edible Fruit:
    It bears large, strawberry-like, edible fruit in the fall, which attracts birds. 
     
  • Low Maintenance:
    This tree is relatively low-maintenance and suitable for smaller spaces. 
     
  • Disease Resistance:
    Kousa dogwoods are generally more disease-resistant than American dogwoods. 
     
Planting and Care:
  • Sunlight:
    Prefers partial shade to full sun, but can tolerate full sun with proper care (mulch and well-drained soil). 
     
  • Soil:
    Thrives in well-drained, acidic, and rich soil. 
     
  • Watering:
    Needs regular watering, especially when young, and can be drought-tolerant once established. 
     
  • Pruning:
    Prune when dormant to maintain the weeping form and remove any dead or damaged branches. 
     
  • Mulch:
    Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
