Question I planted a dogwood three years ago and it is now about four feet in height. When do you think it will bloom. I live in southern Maine. Thank you.
Answer My guess is it will take two years before you will see many blooms. You may see a few this next spring but by the second spring there should be a good many blooms. I hope this will help.
If the tree is growing a full foliage I would recommend that you fertilize it. It will benefit from an annual light feeding of an organic rose or rhododendron fertilizer.
Fertilize with three ounces of ammonium nitrate or garden fertilizer (without weed killer) per inch of trunk diameter in spring and again two months later. Sprinkle on mulch around plant
