Often compared with Forsythia when grown as a shrub or hedge, Cornus mas is infinitely more desirable, having a more subtle colour, classic dogwood leaves, as well as shiny fruits that resemble elongated cherries. Above: Cornus mas is visited by insects looking for early pollen. It tolerates draught, puts up with wind, and if it’s happy, it’s healthy. Cornus mas is more adaptable than other dogwoods, being happy in alkaline soil-and any soil, as long as it is not waterlogged. Like so many common names, “cornelian cherry” is misleading, since this is not a cherry, while for once, the Latin name rolls off the tongue. The tiny flower heads are warmly golden, with a strong element of green when young, but their beauty lies in the way they scatter themselves across open branches, looking even more striking against a dark background of woodland and evergreens. In dreary late winter, baubles of yellow are something to get excited about, especially on a lichen-encrusted branch.
