I am hoping someone can give me some advice/help. My recently planted
dogwood tree looks dead after a month. All the leaves are withered and
crisp. It's been a rainu spring. 've been working to keep a lot of
excess
water away from the tree, but my efforts now seem in vain.
Is there any hope for this tree or will I need to replace it.

Dogwoods, particularly in southern climates, don't like full sun.
