Spoken of very highly in Paul Cappiello and Don Shadow's book, this is another Orton hybrid from Rutger's. My plant is just putting out its first couple of flowers. The quote from the book: "This plant will become a staple in the landscape industry very quickly."

Cornus kousa x nuttalli K N 30-8 "Venus"
The picture of the entire original tree on page 199 of the book could cause feeble people to go into fits. If you feel you are strong enough, take a look. The tree looks unbeatable.
