My Kousa Dogwood has no leaves yet!
I had a Kousa Dogwood planted last fall and its about 6 feet tall. It
is now May 5th and I live in the Boston area and there are still no signs of leaves on the tree. The buds have been visible for a month or so and on some of them you can even see they opened a little but nothing came there. It's as if it stunted. My newly planted Japanese Maple is completely full of leaves now. Does anyone know if this is normal for this time of year for the Kousa to still not have any leaves or is there a problem? Any thoughts would be appreciated. |

Kousas leaf out a bit later than Japanese maples, and newly transplanted
trees often take longer to emerge from dormancy than established ones. Give it a bit more time before panicking. Not much to be done about it anyway!

This is pretty normal in most northern areas. I walked past the kousas in the
nursery this morning and the leaves are just starting to pop out, I am in the detroit metro area which is a similar climate to that of boston. Dont worry unless its july and still has no leaves. Toad |

Aw come on, let her panic.
I bet she forgot to do the fertility dance when she planted it. She will need to do it during the next full moon if she expects the plant to leaf out before it completely succumbs to bad juju!!! How many of you out there remember how to do the fertility dance and can tell Jammy how it goes? "SugarChile" wrote in message ...

Sue Well that's not necessarily true since the nursery guarantees everything they plant for one year and if this thing doesnt sprout leaves and flower, I am going to want it replaced. |

Ok, point taken, what I meant was, there's nothing you can do to make it
break dormancy faster.
