when should Kousa Dogwood begin to leaf out

When should my Kousa Dogwood begin to leaf out? I live in zone 5-6 and there are no leaves on the tree. This is the second dogwood planted and I am getting worried because there are no leaves on the tree.

Are the branches brittle and snap off when bent?
Do they bend? If you scratch the bark does it appear green?
A newly planted Kousa Dogwood requires a good amount of watering in the first 2 to 3 years to become established.
We did have an extremely cold winter in most of the entire United States and a new planting may not have been established enough to survive the temperatures.
Review the care and growing requirements in the article below.
I would provide water and watch and see.
Also most garden centers will replace a plant if it expires in the first year.
