Kousa dogwoods are not reliably hardy in the colder parts of zone 5. I am next to
the lake and temps are moderated. My Kousa faces east and gets full sun for 1/2 of
the day and does extremely well. I dont know if it would do well in full sun all
day. I would go for a sunburst locust in that location. INgrid

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.

Thanks.
