Hi Betty, I have several trees, Redbud and Dogwood, showing the same
symptoms. The leaves didn't yellow at all before wilting as they have done
before when a pathogen is the culprit.
/ Exactly.  And it doesn't look like the usual early-fall phase where they
change colors, etc.

 IS watering at this time harmful?
                        I know that when the lavenders start sagging under
the heat it can be fatal to over water them, but I wouldn't think that the
root system of a tree as old as your Dogwood would suffer from the
watering.
What's the real story?

/ So far, I've gotten a variety of responses, ranging from don't water to
deep watering twice a week.                        I'll check with our
extension agent on this, too.

/ Please relay any info you get.
