First time planting a tree and it turns out much more requirement and consideration. The tree is just as tall as me, with dark green wavy leaves and pointed creamy-white bracts around the central flower heads. I thought Scarlet Fire dogwood has pink flowers, so fingers crossed it is just temporary. Feeling accomplished today.

After 3 garden store visits and countless back and forth on the type of dogwood tree I want in the garden, I finally picked up this Scarlet Fire Dogwood. It barely fit in my car with its single trunk and canopy of green leaves pressed right against the roof, but I am so happy I found one that has good structure and shape!
