Long-Lasting Fuchsia Blooms!

Unlike common pink or white dogwoods, the Scarlet Fire® Dogwood Tree’s flowers boast a one-of-a-kind fuschia color. No other dogwood offers the tree’s signature four-petaled blooms in such a deep, rich hue. 

On top of its gorgeous color, the Scarlet Fire Dogwood also has an unusually long flowering season, lasting for six to eight weeks in the springtime! The tree also has dark green leaves with purple streaks which contrast beautifully with the pink flowers. And in fall, the trees’ leaves will transform into charming reds and oranges.

With its standout color, the Scarlet Fire Dogwood can be a centerpiece in your landscaping. At full bloom, it will certainly be a standout - and requires limited shaping because of its naturally-rounded shape. Plus, this tree also produces small red berries that gardeners find quite tasty - many describe it as sweet and spicy, similar to persimmons! 

Like other dogwoods, the Scarlet Fire is a tremendously easy tree. Tolerant of both drought and heat, this cultivar is also more disease- and pest-resistant than other dogwood varieties.

Scarlet Fire Dogwood

Came amazingly packaged. All new growth tips had been clipped off, we planted according to instructions. So far no new growth and no leaves have died. So I believe it’s establishing itself.

ARRIVED IN GOOD CONDITION

Ordering was easy, and the tree was delivered in a timely manner with good communication from the company. I only planted it last week, and we are currently quite hot in Colorado, so I am watering it well, making sure not to over water. Many of the leaves are a bit dried out from shipping, and the weather, but there are many that are not, and there are new leaves at the very top, that are not dried out, and seem to be growing. Very excited to watch this tree establish itself in my yard

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Bart, thank you for your thoughtful update. We’re sorry to hear some of the leaves dried out during shipping and in the heat. That can sometimes happen, especially with tender new growth, but we’re glad to hear there are healthy new leaves at the top. It sounds like you’re giving your tree excellent care, and we’re excited to see it thrive in your yard. Let us know if you ever need anything.

Scarlet Fire tree

Still waiting on leaves to look healthy. Might just be the dry weather as I planted it two days ago after it acclimated for three days. Watered to acclimate before planting. I'll let you know if it makes it.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Barry, thank you for the update. It sounds like you gave your Scarlet Fire Dogwood a careful start. Sometimes, especially in dry weather, new trees just need a bit more time to settle in before showing signs of healthy growth. We hope it perks up soon and are here if you need anything along the way.
