Rosy Red Blooms Add Stunning Color to The Landscape
The Cherokee Chief Dogwood is cold hardy to growing zone 5, where other dogwood varieties can’t handle the cold. Large amounts of ice and snow don’t bother Cherokee Chief Dogwoods and don’t stop them from blooming.
By being one of the first trees to bloom in spring, Cherokee Chief Dogwoods fill the landscape with fiery red blossoms while other trees are still dormant. Once their dark, green leaves fill in they act as a backdrop for the bright flowers to pop against.
The colorful show doesn’t stop there because the long, oval shaped leaves fill in to create a thick and attractive canopy that provides shade in the summer. When the leaves first emerge they have a burgundy to bronze tint that fades to green as they mature. Then in the fall the green leaves turn a dark shade of red.
Your neighbors will swear that your ornamental tree is doing something new every time they see it, even in the winter because Cherokee Chief Dogwoods form bright red berries in the fall that last deep into the winter after their leaves have dropped.
The red berries beam with color while other plants in the winter landscape are bare. Cherokee Chief Dogwood berries are an excellent source of food for a variety of songbirds during the winter. You’ll love being warm inside your home while watching colorful birds visit your tree all winter long.
Cherokee Chief Dogwoods only grow between 15 to 20 feet tall, so they can fit perfectly in smaller planting areas without over crowding it. They are an excellent choice for an accent tree, or the center of attention.
You will have seasons of color without any trouble or fuss because the Cherokee Chief Dogwood is one of the toughest dogwood varieties available. They are pest and disease resistant, as well as deer and drought resistant.
All you have to do for multiple seasons of color is decide where to plant your new Cherokee Chief Dogwood trees.

Dogwood tree
So far it’s OK—a bit slow to get started-maybe should have gotten larger option but so far it’s alive. Will update after it’s been in ground 6 months.
Excited to add a dogwood tree to the front of the house
Happy to receive a healthy looking plant. There are clusters of little leaves promising new growth this summer. One reviewer spoke of one foot of growth in the first year. Hoping I’ll be able to report the same.
