Close up of the leaves.

This is now growing in high dappled shade, and it definitely does not bloom as well as it did in full sun. But it isn't fully established, having been moved 1 year ago, so maybe it will bloom better. Does anybody know about bloom on sourwoods in full sun vs part sun/high shade?

If I can dig up and old picture I will in bloom since it was really nice.

Sourwoods are definitely marginal in zone 5b depending I think on provenance. I had one in the old place that was killed to the ground in 1993 when the official low was about -24F, coldest ever in Ann Arbor, MI
