Description

Cherokee Brave Dogwood presents a stunning display of beautiful white spring blossoms that create a fresh and inspiring splash of color across your landscape. This resilient tree develops a neat, rounded habit with textured, glossy foliage that remains attractive throughout the season. In the fall, subtle red drupes add a satisfying accent, enhancing its refined appearance. While its fruit isn’t significant for culinary uses, its overall seasonal transitions and moderate growth make it a truly uplifting addition to any Michigan landscape.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light daily for optimal blooming.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil; incorporating organic matter into heavier soils enhances drainage and supports vigorous growth.
  • Watering: Provide consistent moisture during the establishment phase; once established, the tree performs best with regular watering during extended warm periods.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and stabilize soil temperatures. Keep mulch slightly away from the trunk to ensure proper airflow.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches, maintaining a tidy, polished structure and encouraging robust flowering.

Cherokee Brave Dogwood adds a bold and inspiring statement to Michigan landscapes, offering timeless elegance and a refreshing seasonal display that elevates any outdoor setting.
