-Asian or kousa dogwood
-purchased from Cross Creek Gardens in Westerville, OH and planted in its current location in June 2004
-current height ~7'
-The tree should produce white flowers eventually, but this one has not. Apparently dogwoods are temperamental that way.
-The purpose of the stone planter is to raise it out of the muck at this low end of the yard. The 'cry of rejoice' Japanese irises at its base and the cinnamon fern to the left love the wet area.
