This beautiful Kousa Dogwood tree is in our garden at our Cape Cod B&B.

We thought that we were going to lose this beautiful tree two years ago. Half of the tree was dead. We called in our arborist, who told us that our only chance of saving the tree was to give it a deep root feeding. Last year it seemed to be gaining strength so we gave it another feeding and this spring we were rewarded with these lovely blossoms. In a few weeks red seed pods will appear.
During warm summer mornings, we serve breakfast on the deck that is shaded by this lovely tree.
