Can anybody tell me what the characteristic root depth for a Dogwood
tree is ?

6 feet

Where did you get that figure?

I didn't see anything on that page that referenced root depth in feet.
The article was on depth of soil coverage above the first root flare -
typically measured as a few inches. Interesting reading, though.
