This giant Pacific Dogwood is deciduous tree 30-40’ tall spreading 15-30’ wide with HUGE white spring flowers that can reach 8” wide… often repeating in fall. Flowers are followed by large red-orange fruit. Pink/red/yellow tones are pretty on fall foliage. This species is prone to dogwood anthracnose but easily overlooked with this selection! Best planted in part shade in average soil, moderate moisture.

Huge, brilliantly-white, flower bracts can reach 6-8"across! The lovely blooms decorate this wonderful 30-60' tree in spring and occasionally it will rebloom in autumn. Its large, heavily-textured leaves provide wonderful yellow-to-red fall color which looks exceptionally pretty with the large bright orange-red fruit clusters. This fine tree is sturdy and vigorous and makes a fabulous specimen, especially for the moonlight garden. S-Sh/M/GDr

All the nuttallis are native to the NW and I don’t suggest them for any other area. They are very susceptible to anthracnose even in the NW but , as they are large trees, people don’t look at them too carefully, and at a distance they are pretty spectacular with their large white flowers, often with a fall bloom also, and good fall color. zone 6.
