Dogwoods
A large number of the problems experienced by your dogwood
tree will likely be as result of poor soil conditions, inadequate moisture
and watering, or improper care. Ensuring the proper growth
conditions should be your first concern.

Dogwood Borer
The Dogwood Borer is a pest which threatens not just
dogwoods but also members of the hickory, elm, willow, oak chestnut
and apple families among others. It is common in the United States
west of the Rockies and in Canada. Damage is caused by insects in
the larval or caterpillar stage burrowing beneath the bark of trees
to eat healthy tissue. Moderate infestations slow growth while heavy
or repeated infestations can kill trees by girdling and disrupting
the flow of sap.

Dogwood
Anthracnose
The lovely flowering dogwood, source of so much delight from
its spring flowers to its autumn colors, has a lethal enemy -
dogwood anthracnose. Caused by a fungus, Discula destructiva,
dogwood anthracnose has devastated wild flowering dogwood
populations in large areas of North America. The disease is
relatively recent in origin, first noticed in 1978 with the fungus
itself only identified in 1991.

Powdery
Mildew
Powdery mildew is a common fungal disease that can appear on
many types of trees and plants. While it will not necessarily
kill outright, the plant or tree will become more susceptible to
other problems and its appearance and the amount of fruit it
produces will become compromised.
