This is the Dogwood tree in Judy's yard, our next door neighbor. It is such a joy and a beautiful thing to see in early spring each year. There is a history of Dogwoods between three houses next to each other. We had two Dogwoods in our yard when we first bought the house. One was next to the garage, growing out of the ivy and it was gorgeous! We had another one on the west side of our property right by the front porch. Our neighbor for so many years, Larry, had one on the other side of our property line, near our back door. In the spring it seemed that there were Dogwoods everywhere. Well, there was some kind of disease going around. We lost our largest and most beautiful tree by the garage first. Then Larry lost his by our back door, and finally we lost ours by the front porch. It is amazing that Judy's tree survives and we are thankful for that.
Judy's tree is gorgeous. I'm happy it survived. Years ago I wanted to plant a Dogwood on Seaside Avenue as I always admired the one across the street. I was advised that Dogwoods are very susceptible to disease, so I planted a Kwanzan Cherry tree and a Bradford Pear. They were pretty but nothing can compare to a beautiful Dogwood Tree.
ReplyDeleteThe Dogwood tree looks so pretty. What a shame that you lost two trees. Surprised that Judy’s tree survived but so lucky!
