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.

Beautiful Red Dogwood Tree

My order arrived looking healthy. It's about 5 feet tall and staked, which I appreciate. I got it in the ground the same day and it appears to be settling in well. I look forward to having blooms, as I've never seen a red dogwood blooming before.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertThank you, Don! Healthy on arrival and in the ground the same day is just perfect. Scarlet Fire Dogwood is truly one of the most stunning flowering trees around and we think your first experience seeing those beautiful red blooms is going to be absolutely breathtaking. Worth every bit of the wait!
