The Cherokee Brave Dogwood, also known as Cornus florida 'Cherokee Brave', is a cultivar of the flowering dogwood tree. It is a stunning ornamental tree that is highly valued for its vibrant pink to reddish-pink flowers and attractive foliage.

The Cherokee Brave Dogwood produces large, showy flowers that bloom in spring. The flowers are a deep pink or reddish-pink color, creating a striking display against the tree's dark green leaves. As the flowers fade, they are replaced by clusters of red berries, which add further visual interest.

In terms of size, the Cherokee Brave Dogwood is a small to medium-sized tree, typically reaching a height of about 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters) with a spread of 15 to 25 feet (4.5 to 7.5 meters). It has a rounded or vase-shaped growth habit and attractive foliage that turns reddish-purple in the fall.

The Cherokee Brave Dogwood is a great choice for adding beauty and color to your landscape. It prefers partial shade and well-drained soil.
