Hi, I have what I believe is a flowering dogwood tree and I am concerned about its health. I have noticed the leaves having holes throughout them, edges looking bitten away, and some branches are totally bare. Located in NJ. Photos attached... Thanks for any help you could offer.

Those are old leaves. At this time of year your tree is about to drop them. I wouldn't be concerned.

And welcome to the NGA site!

OK, thanks!!!

Welcome to the site! And I would not worry about the leaves. Mine look like that right now too. But, judging from the berries and the flower buds in your pictures, I would say things are pretty healthy! Look forward to next spring! I am!
