Dogwood Questions and Answers
Should
I plant flowering dogwoods? I have heard that dogwood anthracnose is devastating
dogwoods and that none of them are resistant to this disease.
I
recently planted a new dogwood tree. It seemed healthy when I bought it,
but the leaves soon took on a grayish white cast and puckered. What should
I do?
Don't
the flowers of the native flowering dogwood, Cornus florida, grow
singly?
When
should I prune my dogwood?
Can
I eat the red fruits of dogwoods?
I
want to plant some dogwoods in my yard. They are common in the woodlands
near my home can't I just transplant some into my yard to save some money?
I
have some redosier dogwoods that I planted several years ago. They were
beautiful for several years, but now they produce fewer red twigs. Is there
anything that I can do to increase the production of red twigs?
Where
can I find out more about dogwoods?
