Cherokee Chief Dogwood
Cornus florida 'Cherokee Chief'
A classic beauty, the Cherokee Chief Dogwood offers deep, ruby-red flower bracts and four seasons of interest. In spring, new leaves emerge bronze-red, maturing to green. Autumn brings fantastic burgundy-red foliage, and the show continues into winter with red fruit clinging to bare branches. This small, low-branched tree has an attractive branching habit, giving a graceful look that will enhance any yard.
