(hardiness)
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/smaller>/fontfamily>
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. /smaller>/fontfamily>
