Cornus Venus flowers die off before turning pink.

Question

The tree flowered as normal, maybe a little late and flowers a little small. Now the leaves have died off before turning pink. Any idea why?

Answer 1

Dogwoods perform best when planted in full sun or light to moderate shade; These conditions may play a part in the developing flowering buds.

They do prefer acidic soil so a soil test may help you determine if this is the issue.
