The pink dogwood - cornus rubra - is a special tree, because it rewards the gardener all year. If you love dogwoods, but would like a heavier dose of color, then the Cherokee Brave is for you. Unlike the softer more subdued shades of the classic red and pink North American dogwoods, the Cherokee Brave stands out with a very bold and strong pink bloom that contrasts with streaks of white that run through each petal. This dogwood shares the natural elegance, textured bark and beautiful, dark green leaves of the North American white dogwood, but also stands out from the crowd with bright pink flowers that cover the tree in the spring. when he agreed to buy them, I didn't waste any time."Classic, but bold" is a great phrase to describe The Cherokee Brave® Flowering Dogwood. I should have inspected it closer on the lot but with 3 toddlers and a cranky husband. On closer inspection, I noticed many of the green leaves also are showing spots. I went out and examined the leaves and noticed a bunch were yellow with brown with spots. I've watered the CB every morning and while the top half looks great, the lower half appears wilted. The kousa I bought looks great in its location (ideal spot) but it looked great even on the pavement at the store. It was in the hot sun and looking a bit parched but at $30 for a 5' tree, I bought it :) I planted it under partial tree cover so it gets a bit of dappled sun in the morning, shade during the hot hrs, and sun again in the late afternoon.

bought a Cornus Florida on Sunday (Cherokee Brave) from a local Lowes. Hi! On my phone so ignore auto corrections.
