I've got this dog wood. It grows out of the creek bed in our back yard. The root ball is exposed on the water side and over the last few years, it has been eroding , and slowly falling over. We've had really bad storms for days now with the water running really fast, and checking it out tonight, it is now completely down on it's side .
It is by far , the nicest tree on our property, it has beautiful pink, and white flowers, and is a really healthy nice looking tree. I hate to let it just sit there, and die . I'd love to dig it up and move it to the front of our place, near the driveway. . I am sure I will tear up some of the roots getting it out. Think it will survive ? Any advice? It is pretty large, maybe 25 feet tall. I assume that I will have to tie it off for a while , till it takes root . I'll get a photo tomorrow .
