Re: Pagoda dogwood
Donna,
I had 1 remaining Redbud from the 10 "free" trees sent when I joined the
Arbor foundation...for 4 years it had 2-3 leaves --Now that the Oak it is
under has finally grown enough to give it some shade--& I finally fertilized
everything with foliar 20-20-20-it has leafed out beautifully!! Can you move
it-maybe it just needs a different neighborhood!??
