"Classic, but bold" is a great phrase to describe The Cherokee Brave® Flowering Dogwood. This dogwood shares the natural elegance, textured bark and beautiful, dark green leaves of the North American white dogwood, but also stands out from the crowd with bright pink flowers that cover the tree in the spring. Unlike the softer more subdued shades of the classic red and pink North American dogwoods, the Cherokee Brave stands out with a very bold and strong pink bloom that contrasts with streaks of white that run through each petal. If you love dogwoods, but would like a heavier dose of color, then the Cherokee Brave is for you.

The pink dogwood - cornus rubra - is a special tree, because it rewards the gardener all year. As the days lengthen and warm, brilliant pink blooms cover the tree and announce the arrival of spring. When summer arrives the upward branching and deep green textured leaves provide an elegant and graceful appearance among larger straighter shade trees, evergreens, or the sharp geometry of your home. Swirling scarlet and purple leaves add to the color show in the fall, along with brilliant red berries that attract up to 36 species of songbird through the early winter.

This breathtakingly beautiful tree is an excellent choice to plant along streets, near large buildings, next to patios or as a property border. It provides an eye-catching display when planted in rows, but also excels as a solo planting, or among towering giants. Dogwoods do best in some shade and rich soil, but can adapt to a variety of conditions with proper care. Dogwoods do best with 2-3 inches of organic mulch.

Cherokee Brave Flowering Dogwood

My new Dogwood tree arrived in a sealed plastic bag with about a quart of moist dirt. The shipping box arrived with no damage and the plant looked very healthy when I opened the 4" x 36" box. I planted it according to their how-to videos and so my little Brave looks good. Shipping was faster than I expected and the owners were good to work with. Will definitely buy from NB again!

Dedicated to my late son because of his love of the Indians.

It is too soon to tell how the tree is doing but I am hopeful that it will be a beautiful tree to honor my son.
