Cherokee Brave Flowering Dogwood 1 Live Tree – Cornus florida ‘Comco No. 1’ – 1 Gallon Pot – 3–4 ft

Cherokee Brave Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida ‘Comco No. 1’) is a deciduous ornamental tree admired for its showy spring display of deep pink to rosy-red flower bracts. The broad, colorful bracts surround small central flower clusters, creating the distinctive floral appearance associated with flowering dogwoods. Cherokee Brave is a cultivated selection of the eastern North American native flowering dogwood.

During the growing season, the tree develops attractive green foliage that provides a natural backdrop for its branching structure. In autumn, the leaves may turn shades of red and burgundy, while bright red fruits can add seasonal interest and attract birds. Its graceful branching habit makes Cherokee Brave Flowering Dogwood suitable for woodland gardens, ornamental landscapes, mixed tree borders, and specimen plantings.

Supplied as one live Cherokee Brave Flowering Dogwood tree in a 1 gallon nursery pot, this specimen measures approximately 3–4 feet tall at the time of shipping. It generally performs best in partial shade to full sun, with protection from intense afternoon heat in warmer climates. Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil is preferred.
