I'm in the Driftless area, half way between Madison & LaCrosse... I would call this zone 4b but then I'm on the ridge.

I have some smuggled seeds from Romania that I'll be planting out, but I haven't tried any of the Russian cultivars. All of my stock is from the legendary Bear Creek. Geez, I miss that company.

Lotsa Cornus mas here. Does extremely well, it's the first thing to flower, the same time as the pussywillows. These here have survived several weeks of -20F & a few days of -30F over the years. Tho the bark exfoliates and the leaves get a spot of anthracnose, they put on copious amounts of fruit which with we make my favorite jam. While I was in Romania, these fruits were a common site in the farmers markets, fresh & processed.

Any advice on the likely hardiness of either of the above two C. mas cultivars



There are 6 C. mas seedlings here in zone 5b, central Indiana. Lowest winter temps about -10. Last two years -8.  Had them about 5 years, they seem to be doing well, no major winter damage. We on the 1991 NAFEX / VIR exchange trip saw them growing wild in the Krasnodar region of Russia, near the black sea. That is I believe equivalent to zone 6-5. One Green World says hardy to zone 4.
