cherokee chief dogwood
Cherokee Chief Dogwood (Cornus 'Cherokee Chief') is a beloved flowering tree prized in New Zealand gardens for its rich red spring blooms and graceful habit. This stunning deciduous tree makes a striking statement as a feature plant, standing out with its deep rose-red bracts that emerge in early to mid-spring, bringing colour to the garden before many other trees break bud. Appreciated by both landscapers and passionate home gardeners, Cherokee Chief Dogwood adds year-round interest thanks to its lush green foliage, which takes on purple hues in autumn before falling to reveal sculptural winter branching.
Cornus Cherokee Chief
Cornus 'Cherokee Chief' is a small, deciduous tree grown for its impressive flowering and attractive form. Masses of rose-red flowers are borne in spring just as the new foliage begins to emerge. The leaves emerge green with bronze tones in spring, age to become dark green, then develop colourful shades of red in autumn before falling as it grows to 12 m tall and 7 m wide. Cornus 'Cherokee Chief' makes a lovely specimen and is an excellent choice for adding to a mixed planting, using as a backdrop for smaller plants, or using in an avenue planting.
