expounded:

Yes, that is it. I even found the original information tag that was
attached to the tree.

Cornus florida rubra

Pink flowering dogwood - how pretty!

With our strange winter, this tree currently has a flower nearly fully
formed and has many buds already cracked open.

Patrick, I've lost track - where are you located?

What is the optimum fertility level for dogwoods? Specifically Cornus
species. We need to stop fertilizing trees the same way we fertilize corn.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

Most likely it would serve you best to have a professional observe the damage on your dogwood tree. Though it would probably cost less to just purchase a new tree.
