ABSTRACT: Cultivars of nine Cornus species were evaluated at Great Smoky Mountain National Park (GSMNP) and Ozone, TN for dogwood anthracnose resistance. Trees of C. alba ‘Bloodgood’, C. alba ‘Elegantissma Variegata’, C. alternifolia, C. amomum, C. augustata, C. controversa, C. kousa, C. kousa var. chinensis, C. mas, C. mas ‘Golden Glory’, C. redoisier ‘Ruby’, C. sericea ‘Flaviramea’, C. sericea ‘Kelseyi’, and C. sericea ‘Isanti’ were obtain from Owen Farms (Ripley, TN 38063). Trees of C. florida ‘Cherokee Princess’ were obtained from Commercial Nursery (Dechard, TN 37324). Trees were transplanted into five gallon containers and transported to GSMNP May 18, 1992 and to Ozone, TN May 20, 1992. These sites were selected because of the high incidence of dogwood anthracnose in native dogwood population. Trees of each species were placed under the canopies of diseased dogwoods exhibiting severe symptoms of dogwood anthracnose. At each location, trees were arranged in a randomized block design with six replications.
