Here is another beautiful dogwood cultivar. The ‘red cloud’ is a pink flowering dogwood known for its profusion of dark pink almost red blooms that pop out in early spring for a showy display. It is also smaller making it a wonderful understory tree or a perfect specimen tree to add in a garden. The ‘red cloud’ also offers year round interest. In the summer its crinkled dark green foliage gives texture. In the fall the foliage is a beautiful, scarlet red and the bright red berries that attract birds are produced. In the winter, the smaller stature of the tree along with it low dense branching continues to give a unique focal point.
