    The tree's branch likely broke after the tree came out of dormancy, and when this happens, the tree will "bleed" quite a bit. The bugs and mold are most likely attracted to the sugars in the sap. If possible, try to wash off the bled sap, but don't scrub too hard. Treat the area with a fungicide to keep away harmful fungus, but leave the wound to heal in the open air.

    Might be flux, try spraying with a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water. You'll probably need to spray it twice a day for about three days. If that doesn't clear it up in a few days, try treating with a systemic fungicide. I like the ferti-lome brand, but it doesn't really matter, just make sure it's listed for dogwoods. Make sure the tree isn't being overwatered. If you haven't already remove any broken limbs, cover the cut with pruning paint if you wish.

    It takes a few years for dogwoods to become established enough to bloom. You will need to give it more time. Also be careful not to over fertilize it. They need little fertilizer and too much can harm the tree's ability to bloom.

    Unfortunately, overwatering can produce symptoms like drooping, wilting, or leaf discoloration that mimic the symptoms of under watering. In such cases, we tend to water even more, compounding the problem. Overwatering could cause problems with dogwoods. They don't like wet feet, and that could predispose the trees to other things like fungus and bacterial infections.
