My oldest got this dogwood tree as a sapling in preschool (2003).  A year or two after we planted it, the dog decided to spend the winter chewing it and trimmed it down.  It was a somewhat sad looking bushy tree for a few years, then started having small, pathetic flowers.  This year, however, the blooms on it look good.  It's finally a nice tree, just in time for my son's high school graduation.
