Lack of flowers

Here in MA, I have a 20 year old Cornus Kousa Dogwood that has bloomed profusely for most of its lifetime with its exception being this Spring with only 5.% of the tree in bloom. Each year, the bloom period is from June 1-Sept 1, with fruit/seed forming after this point Why?
What action should I take?

Hello,

Thank you for sending us your gardening question.

Since your tree has been established for years, you may consider amending the soil to add organic material such as manure or compost and adding a fertilizer high in phosphorus.
