Cornus mas
(Cornelian Cherry)
Cornus mas is a large shrub or small tree, growing to approximately 6m high.
The plant produces masses of small yellow flowers in early spring before the leaves shoot. Cherry sized, edible red fruits follow in August. Autumn brings displays of yellow, oranges and red. The bark of Cornus mas is also interesting, with older trees developing scaly plates of orange and brown.
Available from Deepdale Trees year round as an Air-pot container grown plant.
