I live in Zone 5 and would like to plant a Kousa dogwood in my
front yard. However, I've read conflicting reports on sun
requirements/tolerance. The yard faces south and gets nearly
full sun. As an alternative, I could place the Kousa in the
back yard, which also get considerable sun but faces north.
I'd appreciate your thoughts and advice.

My Kousa does just fine in full sun.
