Heroku named all of their stacks after an alliterated color + tree convention:

- Argent Aspen

- Badious Bamboo

- Celadon Cedar

I can’t remember what to color name for the Dogwood stack was meant to be, we mostly only ever referred to them by the tree name and dropped the color. Suffice to say that Dogwood was meant to be the 4th major evolution of what Heroku was.

Second paragraph in the article
The next phase after Cedar. It was mostly a "Go 2" style mythical benchmark that they compromised on for private spaces but was never really able to meet.
It’s mentioned in the article.
