Cornus florida 'Appalacian Snow'
Choose Appalachian Snow if you want the traditional white dogwood look with better disease resistance. The tradeoff: it still needs a thoughtful site, not a hot, exposed, compacted spot.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The white spring bloom and layered branching give it strong presence without looking oversized. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a steady pace, but it is not the tree to buy for instant size. |
| Maintenance | B | Improved disease resistance helps, but good siting and airflow still matter. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C+ | It works in a moderate planting area, but the spreading habit needs room. |
| Screening Value | D | It is an ornamental tree, not a privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Appalachian Snow for a protected front-yard or woodland-edge spot where the customer wants real dogwood character without choosing the most disease-prone option.
| Mature Height | 22.5 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 22.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 5a-9b |

| Growth Habit | Upright, spreading, layered |
Yes, if disease resistance is a concern, Appalachian Snow is the safer recommendation.
It can, but we would rather see afternoon protection in hot, dry locations.
No, use it as an ornamental tree, not as screening.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
