What can anybody tell me about this topic? Thanks!

My mom's house in Goldsboro was built in 1956 and dogwoods were planted then. They still look great and bloom every spring. From what I've read their lifespan is 60-70 years with good care. You should probably call a tree doctor to have yours checked out!
Good luck!
