Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Cornus mas is a cold hardy dogwood known as Cornelian cherry or cornel that is both ornamental and edible. It blooms with airy clusters of golden flowers on bare branches in early spring followed by early-ripening, sweet, juicy, pear-shaped, aromatic fruit that tastes like a cherry or a wild plum. This form bears large crops of 1.25 inch long, oval-shaped fruit that is yellow rather than red. Trees reach 8-10 feet tall and wide. Fall colour includes yellows and reds. Grow in the sunny to part shade garden. Great for fresh eating, preserves, juice and wine. Plant two varieties for cross-pollination. Attracts birds and bees.

Clusters of small but exceptionally bright yellow flowers appear very early in spring on this stellar 15-20' tree. The blooms on this unusual cultivar are followed by large (1") golden-yellow (rather than red) fruits. The fruit have been used for centuries in tarts and cordials and are loved by the birds if not harvested. Planting the red and yellow varieties together creates a stunning contrast. S/M
