Default Dogwood deathtrap

I'm near Washington DC (not sure what zone that is) and I basically
left the tree alone. The nursery said it should be getting plenty of
water due to the rains we have been getting.

The thing is, all the other trees are starting to flower. Mine
haven't even started to show leaves yet!

I bought a new townhouse in May 2005. A freshly planted dogwood
flowered and died that summer. The builder replaced it with a new
dogwood tree the following late spring.


It died within 2 months.


Mid-November of 2006, they planted ANOTHER dogwood. As of this
writing, it has not even begun to sprout leaves, much less flower
buds. I scraped a tiny piece of branch, and it is moist and green, so
I assume it is alive. I have no idea why it has yet to begin to do
its stuff.


All of the other plants in the immediate area are doing just fine.
Can anyone think of what the tree thinks it is still winter?


Thanks in advance,

What zone are you in? What is around the Dogwood? How much are you
watering it? Did it come in a ball or a pot? - Hide quoted text -
