My Kousa Dogwood grows taller and nicer every year. It keeps it's leaves to the bitter end and is now in full color. I searched everywhere for one of these and have now had it about 5 years and not nary a bloom on it in all that time. Those who have grown them say to be patient, that the spring show will come and it will be worth the wait. In the meantime, there is this beautiful fall color. It really shows up like Christmas decoration behind that Rododendron.
I think I will give it a little lime. I read that it grows best in a soil pH of 6-6.5. Hummm. I guess this old red clay is a bit more acidic than that.
