When used, germs [on a dirty washcloth] are then spread or reintroduced to the skin, which can cause irritation and even infection. To minimize the growth of bacteria and mold, hang the washcloth so that air circulates around it, drying it faster.
Dogwoods could live to be 60 or 70 years old, providing they stay healthy. I know of some that are probably 40-50 years old now. Unfortunately, they have many maladies. They suffer from Downy and powdery mildews, which coat the leaves reducing sunlight, slowly choking/starving them to death.
Types Of Dogwood. In North America depending on region, dogwoods can be found in all shapes and sizes, ranging from an herb to a shrub like the roughleaf dogwood all the way to the Pacific dogwood which can reach 60 feet in height. All dogwoods are deciduous with heavy, hard and fine-textured wood.
