Cherokee Chief Dogwood

This small deciduous tree features a graceful, layered habit with horizontal branches and a rounded canopy. In spring, it is adorned with deep ruby-red bracts that emerge before the foliage. New leaves appear bronze-red, maturing to a lush green before turning spectacular shades of burgundy and scarlet in autumn. It thrives in partial shade and acidic, well-drained soil. Highly prized as a specimen for patios or woodland gardens, it offers year-round beauty and excellent disease resistance.
