I bought a Dogwood on 4/28. and planted immediately. A month later and it still has not flowered or leafed out.There are some flower buds on it but they appear to be dead. Likewise with the last inch of so of most branches. The leaf buds don’t show any sign of being ready to open. What’s up?
It doesn’t look good. Give it another week or two and if nothing happens bring it back with the receipt for an exchange. Check the base to make sure you didn’t bury it too doop or that mulch isn’t piled up against the bark of the trunk. The original spot on the trunk whet it entered the soil want to still be visible at all times. More on that HERE.
