CORNELIAN CHERRY [C. mas] -


I'm looking for a recommendation for a cultivar (selected for edibility) for
cornelian cherry dogwood (Cornus mas); and perhaps scionwood or a nursery
that carries the cultivar.


Some of said 'Flava' (yellow fruit) is good; I read of a supposedly
outstanding 'Kazlan', but not available in the US to my knowledge; I heard
'Black Plum' tastes like a plum as per the name lol; I'm thinking about going
with 'Red Star'.


The cornelian cherries I've tasted in parks have tasted like a cranberry -
not impressed at all; yet, a friend describes them to me as delicious, so I'm
looking for a great-flavored cultivar.


If you have scionwood, that would be greatly appreciated, but I'd rather get
one on it's roots already started from a nursery since I'm in a rush to get
fruit.


Thanks,
Steve
