I have a dogwood that is growing fast. In fact, so fast that there are
branches heading for my neighbors garden. I was wondering if it would
be a good idea to nip them off during this season? Thanks


Dogwood is a slow growing tree. *
Are you positive it's dogwood? *
Post a picture.


The info that came with it says "Red Twig Dogwood" and its a fast
grower


"Red Twig Dogwood" is a shrub/bush, it doesn't grow very large. If
it's encroaching onto your neighbor's property then you planted it too
close to the property line.... if just planted you can move it.
