The Appalachian Snow Dogwood (Cornus florida ‘Appalachian Snow’) is a stunning white-flowering cultivar of the native flowering dogwood, prized for its exceptional beauty and resilience. Developed by the University of Tennessee’s Dogwood Breeding Program, it features large, brilliant white blooms that appear in early spring before the leaves emerge, creating a dazzling display against the landscape. This compact, rounded tree typically grows 15 to 25 feet tall and offers multi-season appeal, with lush green summer foliage that turns deep red to purple in the fall and bright red berries that attract birds in winter. Notably resistant to powdery mildew and dogwood anthracnose, the Appalachian Snow Dogwood combines classic Appalachian charm with modern durability, making it an ideal ornamental choice for gardens and naturalized settings alike.
