One of my small, recently planted (about a year ago) 5-foot tall
dogwood trees has sunscald on the southwest side of its trunk.
The
patch [of sunscald] is about 2" long and 1/2" wide. Is there any
hope, or treatment, for this tree?

Where do you live? State, country, province, etc.

Northwest Florida.

OK. And, what was the full Latin name of the dogwood you bought? Do you
still have the tag?

It's probably C. Florida. It is very prone to anthracnose. Look up
anthracnose and then at the top of the Google page will be images.
Look at those.

I asked not because of disease, but because I know NOTHING about whether
his
tree is one that is found growing wild in Florida, and if so, whether it
grows WELL, or just sort of eeks out a sad existence. My only exposure to
dogwoods is in NY, and the ones that grow beautifully aren't in the
middle
of a lawn. They're in the woods, under bigger trees, in dappled sunlight
with a nice thick layer of duff on the forest floor.

I have five other dogwoods, of the same exact variety, in my yard and
all are doing extremely well. Two of them are over 20-foot tall.
None are in "dappled" sunlight.

What's the full Latin name & variety of those trees? Do you still have that
information?
