The Cornus kousa x angustata 'Bernice' is not commonly referred to as the Bernice Evergreen Dogwood. The Cornus kousa x angustata hybrid is a cross between Cornus kousa and Cornus angustata, resulting in a unique tree with characteristics from both parent species.
However, it's important to note that the Cornus kousa x angustata 'Bernice' is not an evergreen dogwood. It is a deciduous tree, meaning it will lose its leaves in the fall. This hybrid cultivar is known for its attractive foliage, which emerges as a deep purple color and matures to a dark green. It also produces showy white flowers in late spring, followed by small, ornamental red fruits in the fall.
