Dogwood Split During Snow, HELP PLEASE

manhattan1995 · 30th January 2011, 05:21 AM

Just a couple days ago, we had some snow fall of around 5 inches here in the east coast. Unfortunately our tree in the front lawn was severely damaged. I still don't know exactly how this happened, because none of our neighbors' tree were damaged like ours. I believe the tree is a Dogwood. The place that the tree split looks strange. Could it be a a disease? Is it possible to save the tree, or is the damage too severe? I have attached pictures below. Thanks for any advice.

Pics didn't show. Suggest wrap the stem together if small and stake with a tripod of stakes and sort out in spring, or ... need pic to give another option.
