I have two cornus mas, but I think they are too far apart to pollinate. I've decided that rather than move the smaller one, I will buy a new one this fall. (My soil is rocky, and if the roots have established much, it will be very hard to move the tree.) I will put it near the one that is doing better. There's more sun on that side.
Any advice on good cultivars, and/or good people to buy from? I prefer to buy from east of the rockies, partly because the shipping is less stressful for the plants, and partly because I'm afraid of sudden oak death. (Although I suppose we will all be seeing that all too soon.) Also, it's always easier to buy from the same climate or north, rather than from the south. A southern plant may have broken dormancy in the spring before I can get it in the ground, and may not have hardened off in the fall.
I am in eastern Massachusetts, zone 6.
Thanks,
Ginda Fisher
