Cornus mas – Early Spring Cheer with Edible Berries

Cornus mas, commonly known as Cornelian Cherry, is a versatile and hardy deciduous tree or large shrub cherished for its early yellow flowers and attractive, edible fruit. It blooms in late winter to early spring with clusters of small, bright yellow flowers, often before the leaves emerge, bringing welcome colour to the garden after winter.

Following flowering, it produces small, cherry-like red berries in late summer which are edible and often used in preserves or jams. The glossy, dark green leaves mature through the growing season and turn a rich golden-yellow in autumn, adding multi-seasonal interest.

Cornus mas typically grows 6–8 metres tall with a rounded shape, making it suitable for parks, larger gardens, or as a specimen tree. It thrives in well-drained soil with a sunny or partly shaded position, adapting well to a range of soils.
