Cornus mas 'Elegant'™

Prohibited to FL

This newer variety of Cornus mas, (which is also traditionally known as Cornelian cherry), is a very heavy producer of pungent, delicious, glossy dark red, oval fruit 1-1/4 inches long that ripens in early fall. Makes great preserves and fantastic juice and wine. An outstanding edible ornamental for its extraordinary early yellow blossoms, which look like tiny golden sparklers and cover the tree in a filmy haze of butter yellow.

The cold-tolerant tree grows to 10'- 15' within 10 years. Needs another Cornus mas variety as a pollinizer.

USDA Zone: 4-9

Grow Height: 10'

Ripening Time: September

Sun: Full Sun to Part Shade

Pollination: Needs A Pollinizer

Size: 2'-3' Tree

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Why is there such a range of sizes for these plants. One nursery says this variety will only get to be 4-6'. Another says 8'-12', and you say it will get to 10'-15'. I have some coming that I had planned on being in the 4'-6' range. It is very hard to plan a garden with such a range of sizes for the same variety.

    Cornus mas can vary in size and nurseries can vary in the rootstock they use for propogation. You should expect, eventually, a tree that gets 8'-10' tall, sometimes shorter or taller, depending on the rootstock used.
