Cherokee Princess Dogwood 6'

The Cherokee Chief Dogwood is a graceful small tree with spectacular spring blooms of rosy-red on the bare branches in April. It is eye-catching and beautiful, and the perfect lawn specimen for a wonderful spring display. It grows in zone 5 and warmer, across the east and south, in all but the driest parts of the country. The blooms are much richer and deeper in color than other pink or red dogwoods, and even the leaves are flushed with magenta, especially in spring when they first emerge. In fall the leaves turn strong, deep shades of red, and this tree also has clusters of bright red berries in early fall. Its graceful, sweeping habit looks beautiful on a lawn, behind other shrubs, or under deciduous trees, where it thrives.
