Does a flowering dogwood drop a lot of debris?
Almost none — a couple of weeks of white or pink bracts dropping in late April, small leaves in fall, and clusters of red drupes that birds usually strip before they hit the ground. The one thing homeowners actually notice is the bird traffic under the tree in September and October and the droppings that land on whatever is parked beneath it.
How much tree is dropping it
Roughly 15 to 25 feet tall and about as wide, with 25 to 40 years being realistic in an open lawn and considerably longer in the part shade it actually wants. It is the cheapest removal on this list — often a couple of hours with a chainsaw, no rigging, small stump — which is why homeowners hold a declining dogwood far too long: the removal was never the expensive part of the decision.
