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.

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.
