: : : I Planted a dogwood tree 2 years ago. I noticed at the
end of last season the bark was peeling off in spots and the leaves
were turning brown.
This season the tree has not started to grow yet..I live in Boston MA '
and most trees have starated to bloom over 3 weeks ago. Can I assume
the dogwood is dead? Thanks
Fred, I would say the chances are that the tree is a gonner. IF the bark was pealing off last year that is an indication when the problem started, it could have been borers on the move. Earl
