    Propiconazole is a chemical used to treat dogwood anthracnose disease. One trade name is Bonide Infuse. Step one is to make sure your diagnosis is correct. The right chemical on the wrong disease won't help. Your county extension service offers help with disease diagnosis. Please follow all instructions on the chemical inner label.

    Dogwoods are known for being, relatively, short trees. They will eventually get tall enough to have a walkway under, but that could take years. If anything, I would choose a tree that gets taller quicker, or plant them a little further away from the walk, and over time, as they thicken up, it will likely hover over the walkway as the tree matures.

    The spot I have in mind is a garden bed between the walkway and the house. Since I can't move that spot further from the walkway, can you recommend a tree that would grow taller quicker? Especially a pretty flowering variety? Zone 7.

    I would suggest growing in a morning sun-afternoon partial shade location in your zone 7 garden.

    There are several diseases that dogwoods are susceptible to. See if you can identify one and locate the appropriate treatment. Examining the fallen leaves may give clues. Also look for insect entry holes in the bark.

    Plant mutants exist all throughout the world. Sometimes this can happen without warrant. Just enjoy the tree, and care for it, as if it were normal. This will be a fine conversation piece one day.
