Cherry Creek Nursery

For two years I was looking for a sourwood and some low-maintenance cultivars of flowering dogwood. I could not find them in any nurseries in city of 200,000 people. I found some nurseries in middle Tennessee that carry them, but when I called them, they flippantly told me that they were for wholesale only! Thus, discovering Cherry Creek was my unbelievable luck. It carries a lot of good cultivars, and it sells to retail customers. Above all, the owner Alan is very friendly. This is why we drove 100 miles to Cherry Creek in the fall of 2021 and bought 2 Cherokee Brave dogwood, a sourwood, and 2 pawpaw trees. The first three are doing great. The sourwood is especially beautiful, with a crooked bonsai-like trunk, early summer white flowers, and brilliant crimson foliage that lasting until December. I planted 4 bare-root sourwoods from another nursery and none of them survived. So I'm going to Cherry Creek for another field-grown sourwood. To justify the long drive, I might as well pick up a Satomi dogwood and a purple prince crabapple.
