Variegated with white, yellow and subtle red tones of a morning sunrise, the leaves of the Cherokee Daybreak Dogwood are eye catching, but not overpowering. Cherokee Daybreak has the natural elegance, textured bark and song bird attracting red berries of the traditional North American white dogwood, but also adds a soft blend of unexpected color to your home, patio, garden or yard. Who knows, you might love not waking up early to catch a glimpse of the sunrise.

Healthy and beautiful leaves! Trying to buy another but it’s currently out of stock!
About 2 weeks after I planted my dogwood, I emailed Travis, anxious my tree wasn't breaking dormancy. He had me send a pic, then quickly reassured me that the buds looked healthy and almost ready to open. A month and a half later, my tree is leafed out and beautiful. I'm so grateful, both for my lovely new dogwood and for Travis's help and kindness. I'll definitely order from New Blooms again.
My trees arrived healthy and they are growing good. Thank you.
I love this little tree. I ordered on April 26th or 27th and received and planted it on April 30th. It came bareroot and dormant with a very healthy root system. It's now May 23rd and it's got lots of leaf buds and is 4 feet from the ground. I love it and can't wait to see it flower.
Purchased a handful of trees and they all arrived looking healthy with nice root systems. Very pleased
