The Appalachian Snow Dogwood, also known as Cornus florida 'Appalachian Snow', is another lovely variety of dogwood tree. It is a deciduous tree that produces beautiful white flowers in the spring, followed by red berries in the summer. The foliage of the Appalachian Snow Dogwood turns a vibrant red in the fall, adding to its visual appeal.
This dogwood variety typically grows to a height of about 15-30 feet and has a spread of 15-25 feet. It prefers partial shade to full sun and well-drained soil. Like other dogwoods, it benefits from regular watering and mulching to retain moisture.
