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.

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
