seeking hackberry (sugarberry), red osier dogwood

[Jane Peppler]

Hi,

I'm not having any luck finding either of these plants - celtis
occidentalis aka hackberry or sugarberry, or red osier dogwood. Does
anybody know a source of either? Or does anybody have any seedlings or
suckers which I could come pry out of the ground?

Thanks,
Jane Peppler

If you can't locate any wild Sugarberry (Celtis laevigata) seedlings,
you can buy them from the N.C. Division of Forest Resources catalog -
http://www.dfr.state.nc.us/publications/seed2002_03.pdf
($22 for 100 seedlings). Hackberry (C. occidentalis) is very rare here,
at the edge of its range, though it can be difficult to tell from
Sugarberry.

I don't know much about Cornus sericea, though I wouldn't expect it to
do well this far south.

Jane,
I have a very large hackberry tree in my front yard. I think the
berries are just starting to sprout... come get all you want. I
live in NW Raleigh.
