How can I make my pink dogwood bloom again?
this year my pink dogwood tree had only 2 blossoms that were weirdly shaped. The branches are bare except for leaves at the end. There is some green lichen on some branches. What is wrong and what can I do to make it health?

Is your tree in full sun? Dogwood trees like full sun no shade. lichen grow in wooded areas. It sounds like your tree is almost dead with no leaves. I would try again in a sunny spot with good drainage and a new tree. Don't cover the base of the tree when you plant it.
I live in Oregon and had a tree in the yard that always had a few leaves and lots of lichen on it, so I removed as much lichen as I could for a couple years, and then we had a winter with the most rain we every had..... and it bloomed ... it was a dogwood. I was so surprised cause I always loved dogwoods back east. So for the years we had lots o f rain it blooms, so now I water it.
Hello. The green lichen should not be problematic.
