By all accounts, an old cultivar very rarely grown at the present. I think the plant has interesting appeal as an accent, and would like to put one at the end of a hazelnut and cornelian-cherry hedge leading into our main orchard. I have read that the Arnold Arboretum has a specimen, but short of asking them for some scion, would any of you knowledgeable folks have any ideas where to get one? The usual suspects (One green world, Raintree, Forestfarm) have all been consulted and I am out of ideas.
