Golden Glory Cornelian Dogwood
Cornus mas 'Golden Glory'
Description:
This small round tree produces an abundance of blooms in late winter before the leaves come out. The bright yellow clusters are a great contrast to the typical wide/flat white blooms we have grown accustomed to with dogwoods. It produces a tart, yet edible red fruit in summer that is great for making jams.
