We Teach Old Dogwoods New Tricks

None of our dogwoods can sit or roll over, but we did coax them into a pria or great tricks - producing two totally new, very colorful dogwood varieties: Cherokee Sunset and Cherokee Daybreak.

Both boast an improved variegated leaf. It is particularly noted for its purplish-red blooms, distinct pinkish-red tipped new growth and colorful foliage. The tree is medium-sized, upright and spreading, with bright green and yellow summer foliage. Fall foliage ranges in color from pink through red to purple.

Cherokee Sunset is more vigorous than other variegated leaved varieties as observed in the nursery under similar growing conditions. This vigorous growth and its greater resistance to anthracnose disease makes this cultivar distinctly different from other green-yellow dogwood cultivars. Antoher distinction is its red blooms. No other know variegated dogwood blooms red.

Like Cherokee Sunset, Cherokee Daybreak is an improved variegated leaved variety with particularly colorful foliage. Its distinct green leaves are margined in creamy-white, which holds until cooler weather with no scorching. In fall leaves turn pink to deep red. Growth habit is vigorous and upright.

When compared at Commercial Nursey under similar conditions, Cherokee Daybreak is stronger growing and more resistant to anthracnose disease than other variegated dogwoods.
