Scarlet Fire® Dogwood — 15 Gallon
(Cornus kousa × Cornus florida ‘Rutpink’ Scarlet Fire®)
Tree Description
The Scarlet Fire® Dogwood is one of the most striking modern dogwood varieties, prized for its large, vibrant deep pink blooms and excellent disease resistance. In spring, the tree becomes covered in rich pink flowers that are larger and more colorful than traditional dogwoods, creating a stunning focal point in the landscape.
This hybrid combines the beauty of the native flowering dogwood with the durability of Kousa dogwood, resulting in a tree with strong disease resistance and improved vigor. Throughout the growing season, the tree maintains an elegant layered canopy with lush green foliage that turns beautiful shades of red and burgundy in fall.
These 15-gallon trees establish quickly and grow into a spectacular ornamental tree, perfect for yards, patios, entryways, and landscape focal points.
