Tree Without Leaves

Question

I have a white dogwood tree that is two years old. The deer have eaten all the leaves and there are no spring buds. However, the branches are still green. What can I do to help it along? Is there a way to encourage new growth? I know without leaves the tree will die.

Answer 1

It should recover on its own, though you probably won't have any blooms this year. The following articles should be of some help to you:
