Probably, you got a mislabeled one. If it is important to you, and if you still have the receipt, and if you have a photo showing the flower color (the last may or may not be necessary), then I would go back to whoever sold it to you, and complain. They SHOULD give you a pink one or refund most or all of your money. If you don't really care, and it's growing well, enjoy it, and let the matter go. You might want to give the seller a heads up that there is a problem, just for their information, but that's up to you. To my knowledge, soil acidity or lack thereof has no effect on dogwood bloom color - it's only certain hydrangeas that change color according to pH.

hello, I have a Cornus Kousa in my yard. Bought it cheap about 5 years ago. It was about 4' at the time. It seems pretty happy where it is, as it is now about 10' tall and getting some nice banching going. Looks to be getting lots of flowers this year, too. Kousa is not known for its hardiness, so I feel lucky in that aspect. I would normally recommend Pagoda or Cornelian Cherry first. All great trees.

I bought it already grown 4ft tall. I loosed the ball sat it the hole we dug out in the earth soil then put Miracle Grow Garden soil in it around it. Then I read some where to put mulch around it but not touching the tree branch itself and water in the evening. Not it the first part of the day when sun is on it directly. Because it could scorch it and sun just dries up the water. I took off all the dead leaves and now its starting to grow new leaves. So far its doing good. With it raining during the day has really helped it also. Thanks for responding.

HUUUGGGEEE transplant .. in tree time.. 2 or 3 years to get over the stresses of transplant ... if not longer ... if your only problem is reduced flowers ... then you ought to be doing the happy dance .. and not complaining .. you mention no lack of leaves ... do remember to do the happy dance in tree time.. its a real slow dance ... grow the leaves.. which grow the roots.. and the flowers .. will flower.. sooner or later.. whenever the tree feels like producing such ... it is NOT hungry.. its stressed .. no fert.. ever ... ken
