Susan, As far as I know, a sleeping dogwood is simply a dogwood that isn't blooming yet.

Hi Jane, Dogwoods will not flower when they are stressed. Try adding a mycorrhizal treatment such as Tree Help Mycorrhizal Treatment, this company also sells flowering tree fertilizer. You can also purchase flowering tree spikes at your local gardening center- there are dozens to choose from and I'm sure the sales associates would help you select the right brand. The instructions for using the spikes should be included with the product.

I was wondering if I could use a slow release nitrogen fertilizer for my dogwood tree? It is planted in acidic soil. It gets water regularly and is well drained. What is meant by organic material being in the soil? What type of organic material? My tree flowers sporatically, but it is about six years old. I have been reading about this, but need more specific advice. Can you name some fertilizers (brand names) and procedures for fertilizers?
