Cornus x rutgersensis 'Rutgan' | Dogwood Stellar Pink - 175cm, 30lt

Cornus x rutgersensis 'Rutgan', commonly known as Stellar Pink®, is a hybrid dogwood tree created by crossing Cornus florida and Cornus kousa. Developed at Rutgers University in New Jersey, this cultivar is highly valued for its outstanding ornamental features, including its stunning pink flowers, attractive foliage, and impressive fall color. In the spring, Stellar Pink® bursts into bloom with an abundance of pink flowers that cover the entire tree, creating a show-stopping display. These flowers are larger and more abundant than those of either parent species, and they persist for several weeks. The tree's leaves are green and glossy, and they turn deep red in the fall, providing a colorful finale to the growing season. Stellar Pink® is a relatively small tree, typically growing to a height of 20 to 25 feet and a spread of 15 to 20 feet. It has an upright, vase-shaped habit and a dense, rounded canopy. The bark is gray-brown and develops shallow fissures with age.
