Flowering big-bracted dogwoods are among our region's signature spring trees, and once even lined the highways of New England. Before leaves emerge in May, this little tree blooms with many iconic four-petaled (or more accurately, bracted) flowers. With finely scaled bark, red berries, and purple fall foliage, this species remains wildly popular, and rightly so. 'Appalachian Snow' is a fairly recent white-bracted cultivar known for its excellent resistance to powdery mildew.
