    Once the seedlings are 4 inches tall, they can be transplanted out to the garden or moved into pots.
    Be careful not to damage the roots when moving the plants.

    Dormant plants are more forgiving of transplant, so you can leave the seedlings in the trays until next spring. You can then transplant them before they leaf out in the spring.

    Luckily the infection is still young. I recommend using a few things. This my method for both fungal infections, and insect infestations: First, you will want to prime the ground with dolomitic lime, then spread wettable sulfur to Kill off any infection in the soil. I Also like to spray the plant itself. Mix a few drops of one or more of these ingredients into warm water with a spoonful of coconut oil: Rosemary oil, lavender oil, neem oil, garlic oil, cinnamon extract/oil and for really bad cases, also add clove oil. Here is an article with more information on insect infestations:https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/dogwood/common-dogwood-problems.htm

    Typically I would not recommend cutting off more than 10 percent of the tree at a time. If you decide to, then do this over a weeks time, so that the tree has time to recover in between cuts. There are a few things to be aware of about cutting dogwood trees, and they are explained in this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/dogwood/trimming-dogwood-trees.htm
