For a Christian man, plant a Dogwood...You do know the history of the Dogwood, don’t you???
“Dogwood.” Yes, I’ve known about that one since childhood. I have three on my land, and there are others extant around here, but they don’t seem to do very well. Might be too hot in summer. I water and fertilize mine, but they still aren’t robust. Three slightly different types, hoping for staggered flowering — which they do do. Just not very robust. Thanks.
