Sorry to hear about your dogwood, Wind. Last year, I had terrible problems with a brand new snowfountain cherry I had just planted. It developed some kind of wound with sap pouring out of it and it looked awful. I took the photo to my local nursery and they thought the problem was borers, so I ended up treating it with a systemic. :-( Then, Happy and her husband were kind enough to come by and help me move the tree to a sunnier location. It's blooming now. So, here's a before and after photo.

1) The wounded cherry last year, poorly leafed out.
2) The cherry tree this morning--yay!

Anyway, I hope your dogwood does okay, Wind, even if it takes a little while. They're such pretty trees. Does it have some nice fat buds on it ready to open up soon?
