Well, bummer, Nancy. If the evergreen Kousa doesn't do well for you,
I have no earthly chance up here.
Your comment about Kalmias is most interesting. Mine get only the
odd ray about mid day and that is lessening as time passes. Might
need to think about moving those guys one of these days. Have not
seen these in the wild except once years ago.
