The Stellar Pink® dogwood, developed by Rutgers, has outstanding beauty and disease resistance thanks to it's hybrid lineage. Named for the gorgeous light pink and white blooms that are of a perfect shape and size, this small tree will light up a shady space or provide a mid-late spring focus in your garden. Bright green glossy leaves emerge in spring, which are tougher than cornus florida and less bothered by insects. Leaves darken by mid to late spring providing an excellent backdrop to the tidy pink blooms.
Due to it's size and beauty, it is an outstanding tree for near the home, planting among shade trees, or anywhere in the garden. In the spring it will come alight with large white flowers and in the summer its elegant upward form provides a great showpiece nestled among other trees or structures. For those who want all of the characteristics of a dogwood, intense blooms, and extra hardiness, this tree is an outstanding choice.

Customer Reviews
Nice size and healthy tree. The trunk has a bend from a very ugly union. Looks like it’s been done by an undergrad at Rutgers University ! But it’s fine.
Shipment was the most perfect shipment. Everything was properly wrapped and packaged. The timing received was wonderful. Will purchase again.
Tree looks healthy. Hopefully it will make it
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.
