Anthracnose Is Showing Up on Dogwood Leaves After This Summer's Humid Stretches

Post Copy

Dogwood leaves showing irregular brown blotches this time of year across Metro Atlanta are often a sign of anthracnose, a fungal disease that thrives in the humid stretches we've had this summer.

Established dogwoods usually handle a mild case without lasting harm, but repeated infections or an already-stressed tree can lose real vigor over time, and dense canopies with limited airflow tend to see it worst.

Boutte Tree's ISA certified arborists assess how far anthracnose has progressed and recommend pruning for airflow or other care to break the cycle before next season, serving Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, and the surrounding metro.

Noticed blotchy or spotted leaves on a dogwood at your property? A quick assessment can tell you how much attention it needs.
