Too much sun for the dogwood? Out in nature in Virginia, they grow wild all
over, but always under the canopy of a larger hardwood.


My mind caught up a bit and I remembered it was the highway between
Yorktown and Newport News [not Norfolk] that had all the Dogwoods I
remember from 1971. They were growing in the median with no shade.
Check for different varieties- apparently they don't all need shade.
