We have a tree that is either yellow transparent or lodi. The couple who planted the tree 20 years ago disagree about the tree type. Any way of deciding which it is? Is there a significant difference between the two types? (I believe that Lodi is a child of Yellow Transparent.)

Regardless, I have the worst time trying to pick it. It seems that the fruit ripens over a long period of time and I have lots of drops and have them going bad on the tree. Is the solution just to pick them when many are still somewhat green?

By the way, the cornus mas discussion is interesting. I can't comment on how well they do in my area (east-central IN 5b) because my two trees are only 2-3 feet tall and probably won't be doing anything for quite some time yet.
