Zone: 4CORNELIAN CHERRY DOGWOOD
The Cornelian Cherry Dogwood is a deciduous shrub or small tree that has exfoliating, scaly bark that develops over time. In early spring, it develops yellow flowers on small stalks followed by small, cherry-like red fruit in mid summer. Typically multi-stemmed with a very short main truck.
Cornus mas is noted for its resistance to dogwood anthracnose and dogwood borer. It is valued for its very early spring bloom and works best as a hedge, foundation plant or in naturalized areas.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun to partial shade; while it tolerates partial shade, it produces the best fruit and floral display in full sun. It is highly adaptable to a wide range of soil types, including slightly alkaline soils, provided they are well-draining. Water deeply during the first two growing seasons to establish. Pruning: Late winter is the ideal time to prune. Minimal maintenance is required; only remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches to maintain the plant's natural shape.
