Dogwood Tree Leaves Turning Brown. A comment from nif july 24 2019. Drought and water stress drought and water stress can cause leaf scorch as discussed above or it can lead to wilting especially in recently.
What to do about newly planted tree leaves wilting turning yellow or browning. Shocked trees also need a little tlc to get them back on track. Flowering dogwoods are understory trees that do not tolerate long periods of full sun.
Trees often suffer from transplant shock because their roots don t have enough room to establish themselves.
Although leaf scorch is rarely fatal to a dogwood tree it may weaken it. There are any number of diseases and pests that can stress your dogwood and cause dogwood leaf drop. I have the same thing happening to my dogwood which i planted about the same time frame but the stems. While the leaves may brown before they fall in autumn brown leaves on a dogwood tree in other seasons is often a sign of poor health.
