Black Tips On Dogwood Tree

Question

The tree appears to be healthy, but the leaf tips are turning brown/black. What is causing this? What can I do ?

Answer 1

This can be caused by too much fertilizer, or too much water.

You will want to treat the area with a fungicide, just in case. This article will help:

Make sure that the soil has a chance to dry out thoroughly down to about 3 or 4 inches between watering, then give them another very deep watering. They can tolerate dry soil better than they can saturated soils.
