Hi John -

Bought it a few years back advertised as a Japanese kousa dogwood - but I think you are right. I believe what I have got here is a Cornus officinalis (Japanese cornel dogwood). Just found some pics of the foliage and flowers on the web, and it sure looks a whole lot like mine!

And all this time I thought it was a kousa

. Thanks for enlightening me!

Grateful,

Tom
