Cherokee Chief® shares the natural elegance, textured bark, and beautiful dark green leaves of the classic pink dogwood but guarantees true to color rose-red blooms. The beauty of this tree is easily accentuated by a white backdrop from a house, fence, or tree like a larger white blooming dogwood or spring snow crabapple. Dogwood trees are incredibly underrated in the fall, their prism of reds, purples, and oranges easily rivals a maple tree for best in show. For those who love birds, dogwood trees are a great choice. The berries will attract songbirds, but are no-mess as they are small and non-sticky. Given all of these positives it is no wonder that dogwoods are one of the most beloved North American trees.

Cherokee Chief Dogwood

Shipping was fast. The tree arrived dormant and looking healthy. The booklet instructions included were clear. The video guide is phenomenal!

I planted it immediately, as the booklet encourages.

We are in Zone 8b. Now we wait for our little friend to wake up.
