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.
Dogwood trees generally grow from about 25 to 30 feet, although the average home garden tree usually winds up on the small side, about 15 to 25 feet tall. One of the reasons homeowners love dogwoods so much is that they donât become so huge that they are hard to maintain or a hazard to power lines or roofs.
