I have a lovely dogwood my sons gave me for my birthday almost 5 years ago. it has a nice shape but its flowers seem stunted they are not those billowing flowers I had hoped for . Whats wrong ? does anyone have insight as to what is happening here ? I am sure its getting enough sun and the leaves look fine although in the extreme heat they brown a bit , I don't think that is unusual . is it missing a nutrient ? does it have a bug or disease ? I can't figure it out any insight will be most appreciated

Some years are better for plants than others, the temps could have been hot too soon, or cold and wet too long. Most of my dogwoods love an acidic soil ph, it may just need to grow some more...

thanks for responding . I really want this tree to do well they gave it to me in memory of their brother who died so it mean a lot .I have since fed it some holly tone and I am going to water it deep once a week for the summer and see it that helps
