Abstract Ten flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) cultivars were evaluated for phenotypic characters including resistance to spot anthracnose and dogwood canker, susceptibility to frost damage, leaf color, bract length and color, bloom number and reproductive phenology. Cultivars differed by at least three phenotypic characters except for ‘Barton’ and ‘Cloud 9’, which when compared with each other, were not significantly different at any characteristic. DNA amplification fingerprinting (DAF) using 17 octamer oligonucleotide primers could not distinguish these cultivars. Furthermore, arbitrary signatures from amplification profiles (ASAP), a technique that produces ‘fingerprints of fingerprints’, which is capable of detecting more differences than DAF, also failed to reveal any polymorphic DNA. Therefore, based on the lack of phenotypic and genetic differences between these two cultivars, we conclude that they are the same genotype.

DNA amplification fingerprinting (DAF) was Used to characterize both parents (different cultivars) in breeding experiments with Cornus florida. Putative hybrids were fingerprinted and true crosses identified by finding unique male parent products in amplification profiles. Both manual and honey bee mediated pollinations successfully produced hybrid seed. Axillary buds from seedlings were used to initiate proliferating shoot cultures on woody plant medium with 4.5 μm BA. Initiation and development of adventitious roots were dependent on IBA (4.1 μm), sucrose (0–2%), and agar (0.2–0.6%) concentrations. About 40–50% of the microshoots produced roots and were acclimatized to greenhouse conditions. Cultures have been maintained without loss of regeneration potential for over 2 years. Clonal material can be reentered into the breeding program or used to evaluate horticultural characteristics in different environments and locales.
