View prices and availability
Un copac cu mai multe tulpini care crește de la o formă de arbust mare până la aproximativ 8 m, cu o coroană largă în formă de vază. Frunzele sunt de culoare verde închis pe partea superioară și verde-albăstrui pe partea inferioară. Marginea frunzelor este ușor ondulată. Culoarea de toamnă este roșu-violet. Fiecare capitul floral este înconjurat de patru bractee mari care se suprapun ușor. Bratecele se transformă de la verde-albicioasă la alb-crem și nu devin roz atunci când strălucesc. Fructele roșii mari de aproximativ 2,5 cm sunt produse din abundență. Planta se înrădăcinează superficial, cu un sistem radicular fin, și necesită un sol bogat în humus, care nu se usucă. 'China Girl' a fost cultivată încă din jurul anului 1910, dar pentru a o distinge de C. kousa var. chinensis, s-a decis în 1978 să se dea plantei acest nume de cultivar.
