ABSTRACT:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO A RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/210,603, filed Jun. 9, 2000.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of flowering dogwood which is resistant to powdery mildew. This dogwood is botanically known as
Cornus florida
and hereinafter is referred to by the cultivar name ‘Kay's Appalachian Mist’.
This new dogwood cultivar was discovered in a field planting of approximately 980,000
Cornus florida
seeds in Decherd, Tenn. in 1995. ‘Kay's Appalachian Mist’ is a white flowering dogwood which, to the knowledge of the inventors, is superior to any other white flowering dogwood cultivar with respect to powdery mildew resistance. Asexual reproduction of ‘Kay's Appalachian Mist’ by terminal cuttings rooted at the Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station in Knoxville, Tenn. has shown that the unique features of this new dogwood cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in successive vegetative generations.
