if the diagnosis is correct .... [i am too lazy to track down your other post .... lol ..]

i would look into a systemic like bayer tree and shrub, if it is labeled for dogwood ...

otherwise.. i just dont understand how a topical spray can work on bugs on the inside .... eh????

confirm the Diagnosis prior to using chemicals willy nilly ...

But need a closer view of the damage. Please!

Here is a link that might be useful: the other post

Sorry for the delay: I've put another photo in the same Garden Clinic/Pests forum as earlier. P.S.: Is there a way to post more than one photo without sending a new message each time? Thanks! Bill

I use photobucket and their provided HTML code to past as many pics onto these messages as folks can stand.

You should see some of the bandwidth challenging threads over in the conifers forum!

Wspencer11,

Once you upload your pictures to a site such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc, find their web address by right clicking on each image and copying the image location. Some sites may even provide your image's location address in a text box below the photo for your convenience.

Let's say, as an example, that the address of the picture you want to post is http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg

To embed the picture into a post, use the command:
img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg">;

If your picture is too large to fit nicely into the text page, you can add a width attribute. The command with the width attribute would look something like:
img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg"; width=600>

Note that I had to use special characters to get the commands above to show up here without turning into pictures, but you can use them as shown (with the correct image web address, of course).

Using this technique, you can place multiple images right into your text post. This will make it much simpler for readers to find and view your pictures. Don't forget the width attribute if your pictures are large. That will keep the text and pictures much easier to view.

Thanks for the photo information. Now: What's going on with the tree? Thanks!

I've only seen one small picture that doesn't really tell me anything and your original post supplied scant info. What are we to base further diagnosis on? Without much more detailed info, I could only suggest you question the arborist that examined the tree and/or get a second opinion from a well-respected ISA certified arborist.
