Description

Discovered at the Camp David Presidential Retreat in Catoctin Mountain Park in Maryland, the ‘Appalachian Spring’ is a unique selection of our native flowering Dogwood that is highly resistant to anthracnose, a fungal condition that has decimated the native dogwood population in some areas. But with Appalachian Spring we can now enjoy the beautiful native white dogwood in our gardens again!

Appalachian Spring is a relatively fast and upright grower among dogwood species producing an abundance of large white flowers in early spring that light up shady to partially shaded areas in the landscape. Handsome green foliage immediately follows the bloom turning a rich, burgundy-red color in fall.

For an even more spectacular springtime show, include a Pink or Red Dogwood tree to your garden. The wonderful flower combination is an amazing sight to see!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 15 to 20 feet tall and wide at maturity, the Appalachian Spring White Dogwood is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or in a staggered rows in sunny or shady landscape or woodland borders. Also nice to frame the corners of homes and to provide beauty and some shade around patios, porches and other outdoor living spaces. A fine addition to woodland gardens, white theme gardens, and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 25 feet or more apart for space between trees; 10-15′ or more from the home

Growing Preferences

Dogwood trees are adaptable to many soil types, preferring a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy or wet soils are problematic. Though Dogwood trees will tolerate full sun, we think they look and perform best with some shade or filtered sun during the hottest part of summer afternoons. Maintenance is minimal to none. Except to remove a stray or broken branch, no pruning is necessary.
