2023年3月19日 · After the onset of infection, disease symptoms manifest themselves all over the plant. Afflicted leaves turn yellow, are smaller than normal, and prematurely drop. Branches die back, light fungal threads lie beneath the crown’s bark, dark fungal strands lie on or in the soil, and honey-hued mushrooms grow near the tree’s base in autumn.

Regrettably, difficulties may arise with Dogwood trees, despite their renowned springtime blooms and eye-catching autumn leaves. These cherished floral trees are susceptible to various illnesses and pests. Understanding these potential threats is the first step toward protecting your dogwood and ensuring its health and longevity.

2023年11月15日 · Leaves are smaller than normal, light green, and exhibit premature fall leaf coloration. Twigs and large branches die as a canker forms at the base of the tree. The canker slowly girdles the tree. During this time, the tree flowers and fruits profusely but eventually dies.

2023年9月11日 · Symptoms: leaves change color (red, purple, or bronze) prematurely (summer); leaves may have brown edges/wilting; peeling, cracked bark near the base of the tree. These symptoms are indicators of stress, which may be caused by powdery mildew , drought conditions , poor site conditions, and/or crown canker.

Despite the ease with which they grow, there are a number of dogwood tree diseases and troubles that need to be taken care of. This infection is caused by the fungus Elsinoe corni. The first parts of the tree to be affected are the flower bracts (petals). From there they spread to the leaves, young shoots and then the fruits.

2021年5月5日 · When leaves are falling off dogwood in summer, it could mean a serious illness, improper siting or cultivation problems. Let's examine proper cultivation and conditions for the trees and see what can be done about treating a diseased dogwood.

Symptoms include yellowing leaves, reduced growth, and a sticky substance known as “honeydew,” which may also attract ants and sooty mold. In severe cases, the tree can become increasingly stressed and more susceptible to other diseases.

2023年3月9日 · There are two types of leaf spot disease commonly affecting dogwood trees, and these are Cercospora leaf spot and Septoria leaf spot. They are both caused by fungal pathogens and present themselves in similar ways on the dogwood tree.

Symptoms include leaf spots that are soft and very wet with purple borders, twig blight, dead leaves that cling to the tree, epicormic shoots (water sprouts with many shoots occurring near the base of the tree), lower branch dieback, and eventually death.

Wet summers and poor air circulation around dogwood trees can leave them vulnerable to fungal diseases like leaf spot and powdery mildew. Leaf spot is caused by two different types of fungi and can leave either tan-brown spots or dark-purple to black spots that lighten to gray.
