The 'Cherokee Sunset' flowering dogwood is another cultivar descended from the 'Cherokee Chief', this tree shares the elegant form, red/pink bracts, purple fall color, and red fall/winter berries, but also introduces variegated leaves. The leaves are green with wavy/jagged yellow borders and in the fall the leaves turn a beautify burgundy with a showy red border. Like the 'Cherokee Chief' these trees are more heat tolerant and disease resistant than true cornus florida. 

Dogwoods make excellent stand alone trees, and highlight trees for your garden. They offer a year round beauty with stunning spring flowering, elegant branching structure, and interesting bark.

4 very healthy dogwoods

I ordered 4 dogwoods (2 Cloud Nine, 1 Cherokee Chief and 1 Jeans Appalachian Snow to plant in November in Zone 7. I was very impressed with how lovingly they were packaged, how safely and quickly they arrived and how healthy they looked. Good size, branching and healthy root system. I feel confident that they will survive the winter and thrive in the Spring.

Very pleased with my bare rooted trees.

The bare root dogwood trees I received from New Blooms were much nicer than I expected. The trunks were nice and thick and the stocky trees were well branched. But it was the roots that most impressed me,...they were very well developed and dense. The best root system I ever saw on such a small (3-4 foot) tree! I have purchased plants from many different sources over the years and I was pleasantly surprised by New Bloom's quality. Also,....the trees were packed better for shipping than any I received through the mail!
