A Vibrant Red-Flowering Dogwood
Move over, white-flowering dogwood trees. With its dazzling spring display of 4-inch-wide blossoms of dark reddish-pink with white centers, Cherokee Brave Dogwood (Cornus florida 'Comco No. 1' CHEROKEE BRAVE) is a sight to behold. This showstopper of a tree bursts into bloom before the leaves emerge to herald the arrival of spring!
Colorful and Vigorous
1. Spring and fall color. Reddish-pink blooms are the highlight of this tree in spring, but another red surprise appears in autumn with its brilliant fall foliage!
2. Fast growth. Compared to other red-flowering dogwoods, Cherokee Brave Dogwood grows almost twice as fast.
3. Attracts birds. After the blooms fade in spring, berries begin to form. These berries mature in late summer, turning a brilliant red to the delight of many birds that relish them as a fruiting food source.
Dogwood Design Tips
Cherokee Brave Dogwood is a carefully bred selection of our native dogwood tree (Cornus florida), prospering in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 5 through 9. Its horizontally branching form spreads out to make Cherokee Brave Dogwood a nice single-specimen shade tree. But its colorful impact is magnified when planted in small groupings or three or more trees. As an understory tree, Cherokee Brave Dogwood provides a smaller design element to surrounding, taller shade trees.
Few Growing Needs
Attention to these details helps Cherokee Brave Dogwood flourish:
• Sun. Sunlight enhances the red color of the showy bracts, but too much direct sun (particularly in the afternoon) may stress trees. A location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal.
• Soil. Rich, acidic and well-draining soil supports optimal growth.
• Water. Natural rainfall typically supplies enough water for established trees, but supplemental irrigation is needed during times of drought or particularly hot summers.
• Fertilizer. Apply fertilizer at the recommendation of soil-test results.
• Pruning. There's no pruning needed to shape Cherokee Brave Dogwood because it has a naturally upright, vase-like shape. Simply remove any broken or storm-damaged limbs to keep trees looking tidy.

VERY satisfied customer!
I ordered a tree to be sent to my brother-in-law, to be planted during a memorial ceremony for my niece. The tree arrived in time, very healthy, very well packed and it was wonderful to have it...it was the high point of the service, when her ashes were spread as the tree was being planted. I could not have asked for better service or a better outcome.
Good, I think. Early spring
Good, I think. Early spring growth has just started.
Dogwood Tree
About half the leaves were dried and brown but I think it will make it. The bark is still green and soft. It was a nice size. I’m excited and it should do well in my climate.
Cheokee Brave dogwood
I received the 6' tree in excellent condition. I live in an area where it can get very hot (90 degrees) in the summer, so I was concerned about the tree's ability to survive it. It's not warm yet (70s in the day), and after planting, the tree had a hard time tolerating the direct sunlight for most of the day. The top leaves wilted and turned brown. I attribute this to the tree's smallish root ball relative to the size of the tree. It doesn't have the ability to send enough hydration to the top of the tree. I'm giving the trees 5 stars because I found a way to fix the problem. I bought a large, 12' x 8' outdoor shade canopy and some 10' yard (light) poles to hold up the canopy, and hung it over the tree. It works like a charm. The tree gets shade for most of the day now. After the tree has an established and stronger root system, I'll remove the canopy. I'll try removing it in a year or so.
Great condition, quick delivery, all
