About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Raise Cornelian cherry for early yellow flowers and tart red fruits. This dogwood relative offers a flowering-shrub project distinct from true cherry trees.

Cornelian cherry is a dogwood relative, not a true cherry in Prunus. Its yellow flowers and tart fruit connect ornamental shrub growing with traditional preserves. Seedling growth should be allowed time and room, with future fruit judged on the actual plant rather than a guaranteed named cultivar.
