I'm in the mid-Atlantic zone, 6B/7A. This is a lovely dogwood with leaves that are starting to shrivel up. It's an otherwise healthy-looking tree. We've had an unusually wet May and June and this dogwood sits in a bit of a depression where water pools; for this reason I've assumed that it's gotten plenty of water.

However, as you can see in the photos, the leaves are shriveling up. What is this? It hasn't been that hot -- we've gotten up into the last week or so but no hot summer humidity yet. What can I do to help my tree?
