Cornelian Cherry Dogwood – Cornus mas 480 Seeds | Cold Hardy Flowering Tree Edible Fruit Tree | Early Spring Blooms | Hedge or Bonsai Friendly

Grow your own Cornelian Cherry Dogwood from seed with this pack of 480 high-quality seeds. This hardy, multi-stemmed deciduous shrub or small tree is prized for its brilliant early spring flowers, edible red fruits, and attractive exfoliating bark.

In late winter to early spring, clusters of tiny yellow star-like flowers bloom before the foliage emerges, creating a bright display similar to Forsythia. By late summer, elongated bright red fruits ripen. The fruits are edible and commonly used in syrups, jams, and preserves. Birds are attracted to the fruit, making this a wonderful addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes.

With its rounded to oval shape and moderate growth rate, Cornelian Cherry Dogwood is excellent for hedges, windbreaks, woodland gardens, specimen plantings, or bonsai training. Mature trees develop gray-brown exfoliating bark that adds visual interest throughout the year.
