Loos like at least 3 of the dogwoods have Dogwood Anthracnose. One of them I was planning on cutting down. It seems to take a good bit of work to try to control this disease and keep the trees healthy. Since none of the dogwoods here are sterling specimans, I may take them all out and replace them with a resistant hybrid, or something else entirely. Most of them are too shaded to do very well, and can't compete with the big trees for water.

This world of trees and shade is a whole new realm. Pretty steep learning curve, but that's OK. Can't ever learn enough about plants and growing things.
