Some friends (here in Bosnia) have a tree and we've all been wondering, over a glass or three of the stuff, how to 'share' it - should we just try planting some berries or try grafting or what? Thanks!Cornel Berries, anyone??
Cornel Berries, anyone??
Anyone know anything about cornel berries? Or where I could find info on the internet? Personally I'd never heard of them before coming here. But they taste great as a cordial and distilled in brandy Some friends (here in Bosnia) have a tree and we've all been wondering, over a glass or three of the stuff, how to 'share' it - should we just try planting some berries or try grafting or what? Thanks!

from the good ol´RHS book of herbs....
Propagation by seed in autumn, or stratified and sown in spring: by green wood cuttings in summer.
Cultivation in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Fully hardy.
It goes on to warn that it is a skin irritant,perhaps handle cuttings with gloves.
Lots of medicinal properties in relation to controlling most bodily secretions
BTW common name for the genus is dogwood.
