Cornus mas, or Cornelian cherry dogwood, is a small tree or large shrub known for its vibrant yellow blooms in early spring, followed by glossy red berries in summer. Its layered branches and multi-season appeal make it perfect for hedges, specimen planting, or naturalized settings.
Cornus mas prefers well-drained, loamy soil and performs best in full sun to part shade. It’s adaptable to various soils and tolerates drought once established, making it easy to maintain in temperate regions.
