'Summer Gold' Kousa Dogwood is a yellow and gold foliage sport found in a block of C. kousa seedlings. It's easy to see why it stood out, as the leaves have bright yellow margins around the green centers. The color combination becomes even showier in the fall, when 'Summer Gold' takes on hues of red, orange, and cream. The white May flowers are an added attraction, as is its upright somewhat narrow habit. Introduced by Crispin Silva and PlantHaven®.
