Features of Cornus Mas
Cornus mas, also known as Cornelian Cherry Dogwood, is celebrated for its early spring blooms and glossy, deep green foliage. The small, bright yellow flowers appear in late winter or early spring, followed by cherry-like red fruits that ripen in autumn. These fruits add a stunning seasonal interest while also attracting birds and wildlife. The dense foliage offers an excellent privacy screen and is ideal for creating natural boundaries in gardens.
Benefits for Nature
Beyond its beauty, Cornus mas supports local biodiversity. The early blossoms provide much-needed nectar for pollinators, while the fruits serve as food for birds.
