This past winter on Long Island was a bit rough and many of our plants are just now getting back to "normal".
One specimen that seems to have been particularly hard hit is our dogwood. I don't know which particular variety it is, but I do know that it looks pretty shabby.
Several branches have not yet leafed out and give every appearance of being dead. On a couple of the branches that did leaf out, the leaves have since wilted and died off.
It is one of two
trees left on the property that were planted by my late father-in-law since Hurricane Sandy took down our 35' Blue Spruce. Obviously, the wife is reluctant to turn it into
wood chips.
I have close to zero knowledge about Dogwoods and would like to know if it is possible to save this tree.
I can take and post photos if it would help.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
