Description

A new distinct cultivar introduced by the University of Tennessee, the ‘Appalachian Joy’ Dogwood is prized for her supernumerary, long-lasting multi-bracted flowers, which simply means she produces a LOT more flowers than the average dogwood, and that the flowers are semi-double, meaning up to 8 petals rather than the standard 4 on most other varieties. Truly a site to behold in spring flower – you have to see it to believe it! You might also be interested to know that Appalachian Joy is documented as the white flowering dogwood with the strongest resistance to powdery mildew. She has a broadly columnar form to 15 feet tall in 10 years and maybe 20 feet in 20 years clothed in rich, bright green leaves that turn a variety of attractive red shades in the fall. Relatively fast growing for a dogwood and a perfect fit as an extremely showy specimen in smaller gardens spaces or in groupings where space will allow.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 18 to 20 feet tall 10 to 12 feet wide, the Appalachian Joy White Dogwood is ideal for use as a specimen in small to medium sized garden spaces or grouped or in staggered patterns in larger landscape borders. Also nice to frame the corners of homes and to provide beauty around patios, porches and other outdoor living spaces. A fine addition to woodland gardens, white theme gardens, and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 18 feet or more apart for space between trees; 8′ 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.
