The Jean's Appalachian Snow dogwood is specifically bred for enhanced hardiness and disease resistance. If you have struggled with dogwoods due to problems with fungus or mildew, this tree may be your ticket to a successful planting. Appalachian Snow was was specifically cultivated by the University of Tennessee due to its enhanced resistance to powdery mildew and plentiful spring blooms.
The white dogwood is a special tree, because it rewards the gardener all year. As the days lengthen and warm, stark white blooms cover the tree and announce the arrival of spring. When summer arrives the upward branching and deep green textured leaves provide an elegant and graceful appearance among larger straighter shade trees, evergreens, or the sharp geometry of your home. Swirling scarlet and purple leaves add to the color show in the fall, along with brilliant red berries that attract up to 36 species of songbird through the early winter.
This breathtakingly beautiful tree is an excellent choice to plant along streets, near large buildings, next to patios or as a property border. It provides an eye-catching display when planted in rows, but also excels as a solo planting, or among towering giants. Dogwoods do best in some shade and rich soil, but can adapt to a variety of conditions with proper care. Dogwoods do best with 2-4 inches of organic mulch.

Customer Reviews
Nice size and healthy tree. The trunk has a bend from a very ugly union. Looks like it’s been done by an undergrad at Rutgers University ! But it’s fine.
Shipment was the most perfect shipment. Everything was properly wrapped and packaged. The timing received was wonderful. Will purchase again.
Tree looks healthy. Hopefully it will make it
I ordered 4 dogwoods (2 Cloud Nine, 1 Cherokee Chief and 1 Jeans Appalachian Snow to plant in November in Zone 7. I was very impressed with how lovingly they were packaged, how safely and quickly they arrived and how healthy they looked. Good size, branching and healthy root system. I feel confident that they will survive the winter and thrive in the Spring.
