Welcome, Terryk. Two great shrubs; good for you. I am calling Whitman in the morning to see what all is available. Always love to try a new source. Nice to “meet” you and don’t be a stranger.

I love cornus mas! I discovered it several years ago growing along the highway and this year am adding it to my garden. I have a one coming from Whitman farms along with Daphne mezereum.

Welcome, Kathy. Overlapping bloom of more than one tree within I think 50 feet will help it along, yes. Here there are so many crabapples and also apples (the two can pollinate each other if they coincide in bloom time) I don’t think about it, but definitely adding another tree is a good idea. See you soon again…hopefully with news that your tree is forming small fruits. :)
