Dogwood Brown Splotches: Anthracnose or Sun Scorch? Water and Mulch Either Way

Dogwood with brown splotches

Brown splotches on dogwood leaves in July could be dogwood anthracnose or sun scorch from reflected heat. Treatment overlaps.

Care

Water 1 inch every 3 days for 2 weeks, then weekly (measure with pan).
Do not fertilize—stresses roots.
Mulch 2–3 inches (not against trunk) to conserve moisture.
