C. kousa 'Triple Crown' is a bit fussy about conditions, preferring a neutral to acid soil which does not dry out. That does not mean it can stand in waterlogged conditions. It reaches about 5m tall and wide max, so quite compact. Fruits are edible but not really worth the effort! C. kousa and many of its cultivars are easy to find, but 'Triple Crown' seems a difficult one to find.
