If the leaf buds did freeze, they may regrow if they were not leaved out to start. This process can take six weeks or so, so don't despair! You may want to wrap your dogwood in a plastic tenting of some sort.Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275379577689130061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152931393171647425.post-76438362611993739032012-05-05T17:21:13.706-07:002012-05-05T17:21:13.706-07:00I planted a flowering dogwood on April 1 and have ...I planted a flowering dogwood on April 1 and have been waiting for it to leaf out. Today I realized that all the leaf buds are dead. So sad. It was cold in April, but I didn't think we had any hard freezes.<br /><br />Anyhow, sorry to hear about all that storm damage. And good luck with those oaks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
