Cornus mas – Cornelian Cherry Dogwood

Cornus mas, commonly known as the Cornelian cherry dogwood, is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to Europe and Asia. It is one of the earliest trees to bloom in spring, producing clusters of small, star-shaped yellow flowers before the leaves emerge. The tree is valued for its attractive appearance and edible, red, cherry-like fruits that ripen in mid to late summer. These fruits are tart and can be used in various culinary applications, including jams, jellies, and beverages. Cornus mas is adaptable to a range of soil types and is relatively low-maintenance, making it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes.
