As you may have read, I called Mr. Eppler. He seems
like a nice guy, but I cant buy that many trees. I'll
try to reach Ms. Whitman in the next few days, and see
if there is anything that see has.  The website does
say they carry a russian Cornus mas, but it is
unnamed. Cornus Mas and Cornus Kousa is something that
I just wanted to play with for now, I dont have the
space or the money to be a "serious" collector of
those species. 

It looks like maybe Lucky and I should start a Cornus
interest group! :)

Lastly, here is my address:

Robert Hamilton
2282 Cloverdale Dr.
Atlanta, GA 30316
