Satomi Dogwood:

The Satomi Dogwood, Cornus kousa 'Satomi', produces deep pink flowers that covers the horizontal spreading branches in April to May. This Japanese selection will make an elegant specimen tree. It is very hardy and flowers later than other dogwoods. You will most assuredly note its spectacular not-at-all-white color, which is more like popsicle pink. This kousa blooms not only in a different color, but at a different time; about a month after every other dogwood is through. Being very hardy and disease resistant, Satomi Dogwood prefers full sun to light shade with a well-drained, somewhat acidic soil. Satomi will produce pink-red fruits that appear in autumn.

What's New?

"Organic food has a higher nutritional value than ordinary produce, a study by Newcastle University has found."

"A team grew fruit, vegetables and reared cattle on adjacent organic and non-organic sites across Europe. They found up to 40% more antioxidants could be found in organic fruit and vegetables than in non-organic.

The team said the findings call into question the current stance of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which is neither for nor against organic food."
