Dear Lincoln Gardeners, This is a long shot, but LincolnTalks has produced miracles before so here goes:
We want to plant one Black Tupelo in our small yard. We also want it to flower. Problem: because the flowers of this species are *polygamo-dioecious* (e.g, *flowers are primarily male or female on one tree -- but some flowers of the opposite sex appear on the same tree) **some *but not all trees will bear numerous fruits while others will sport only a few, or none. Nurseries do not sex Tupelos, so in order to secure flowering, one plays the odds by planting three tupelos within 1/4 mile of each other. Does anyone within 1/4 mile of 32 Lincoln Road have a Black Tupelo? We do not have room for three Tupelos. Hoping so, with thanks, Kathleen P. Nichols
