Cornus mas ‘Golden Glory’
Cornelian Cherry Dogwood

One of the first plants to signal spring in the landscape is Cornus mas ‘Golden Glory’. This small tree or multistemed shrub presents a showy display of bright yellow flowers in mid to late March. This versatile plant also offers characteristics for all seasons. The foliage is a glossy dark green during the summer, the fruit is bright red and develops in the fall along with a wonderful red fall color, and the exfoliating bark offers an interesting feature all year long. This plant will reach a mature height of 20’ with a spread of 15’.

Cornus mas ‘Golden Glory’ is a versatile plant that can be used as a small specimen plant or pruned into a multistem hedge that will beautify any landscape.
