Bloom against the sky (this variety)Bloom against the sky (this variety)Cherokee Princess is the flowering dogwood you plant when you want the classic white spring show, guaranteed. Where seed-grown dogwoods can take years to bloom well and vary tree to tree, this old selection blooms young and heavy, every single year, with big overlapping white bracts that open slightly earlier than the wild type. Underneath it is still Missouri's beloved state tree: tiered branches, scarlet fall leaves, red berries for the songbirds, and a graceful 20 to 25 feet at maturity. Same woodland-edge manners too, morning sun or high shade and decent drainage. If you only ever plant one dogwood, this is the dependable one.
Off-the-lot means you pick it up and plant it yourself. Planted means we deliver it, plant it right, and back it with our Year One warranty. Tap a price to add it to your list, then send the whole list to Matt in one request. Want several of one tree, or a mix? Add them all and Matt quotes the count.
What does "gallon" mean? It is the size of the container the tree is growing in, not how many trees you get. The bigger the number, the bigger and more established the tree you take home, so a 30 gallon tree gives you shade and privacy years sooner than a 15 gallon one.
Full warranty for one year after planting. This comes with any needed care and free check ups upon request. All needed treatments or pruning are included for first year. If tree fails to thrive, no cost replacement.
Picked, delivered, and planted by a Board Certified Master Arborist.
Follow-up visits through the whole first year, not a wave goodbye.
Deep root feeding and structural pruning while it takes hold.
That is the warranty. No fine print, no chasing us down.
Pick a spot with part shade. This one stays under 20 feet, so it fits close: 8 to 10 feet from the house, a patio, or a fence line. Heavy Missouri clay is not a problem for this tree. Growth rate is slow, so you know what to expect season to season.
Not sure about your spot? Send us a photo of the yard with your quote request and we will tell you straight if it will work.
Water deeply once or twice a week through the first growing season, and step it up in July and August heat. Keep a 2 to 3 inch mulch ring around the base, pulled back from the trunk. Spring and fall are both good planting windows in mid-Missouri.
Or skip the checklist: have us plant it and Year One covers all of this. We feed it, prune it, and come back to check on it.
Request a quote and tell us where it is going. We will confirm availability, delivery, and a planting date.
Straight answers to what people ask before they buy. Anything else, just call.
Reliability. It was selected for blooming young and blooming heavily every year, with larger, rounder white bracts. A seedling dogwood might make you wait five years and still bloom shyly. This one shows up its first spring in the ground.
Yes, everything you love about the native comes along: deep red to scarlet fall foliage and glossy red fruit that cardinals and bluebirds clean off by early winter. It is a true Cornus florida underneath the name.
Same as any flowering dogwood: morning sun with afternoon relief, or high dappled shade, in soil that drains. It is a natural under taller oaks, at the corner of the house, or anywhere you will see it from a window in April.
Yes. Every tree on the lot has an off-the-lot price, you pick it up and plant it yourself. The planted price adds delivery, planting, and the Year One warranty.
Every planted tree comes with follow-up visits, deep root feeding, and structural pruning through its first year. If the tree fails in Year One, we make it right. You can extend it to Year Two for 20 percent and Year Three for 15 percent of the planted price.
Spring and fall are both good windows. Fall planting gives the roots time to settle in before summer heat. Request a quote and we will work out timing with you.
Yes. The whole lot is open to trade buyers. Ask about volume pricing when you reach out.
Tell us the spot and the job. A Board Certified Master Arborist picks with you, plants it right, and stands behind it for Year One.
