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.

Although the tree took an extended delivery time, it arrived in great condition. It was expertly packaged, it is an excellent specimen and I am looking forward to next Spring’s blossoms.
