Hey folks.
Last week I got hammered by the ice storm that hit Oklahoma. I'm sure that I lost most of my trees or they got torn up. My trees and benches are buried under 5 40 foot tall pecan trees. I lost power 9 days ago and it will be a few more weeks before I get power back on .
My mother in law has a flowering dogwood about 25 years old. It lost a couple of branches and a couple of branches split. To me it is worth saving but she doesn't want to try. It has lost its leaves for the year. Is it too late in the year to get cuttings off it, or worse case dig it up and pot it? I can post some pictures when I get some. I'm looking at my options.

that’s just plain terrible. sounds hopeful albeit potentially bleak regarding damage to your trees...photos would help, dormant dogwood from description should snap back with some care

Nothing lost by trying to save it. Sorry and good luck with everything.
