Cornelian-cherry
Cornus mas
Cornelian-cherry is a tough, adaptable large shrub or small tree that thrives in full sun to part shade with average, well-draining soil. Water regularly during establishment, then it becomes largely self-sufficient and tolerates occasional drought. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, and enjoy its brilliant yellow late-winter blooms and edible cherry-like fruits in late summer.
