Golden Glory Cornelian Cherry Dogwood

Brighten up your early spring landscape with the Golden Glory Cornelian Cherry Dogwood (Cornus mas 'Golden Glory'). This exceptional cultivar is prized for its more upright, narrow habit compared to the species, making it an ideal choice for smaller yards or as a sophisticated flowering hedge. Long before most trees wake up, 'Golden Glory' erupts in a cloud of tiny, sulfur-yellow flowers that cover the bare branches, providing a vital early nectar source for pollinators.

As the seasons progress, the tree displays glossy, dark green foliage that remains clean and crisp throughout the summer heat. By late summer, it produces edible, bright red cherry-like fruits that are excellent for preserves or attracting songbirds. In the winter, its exfoliating, flaky bark provides subtle textural interest against the snow.Highly resistant to common dogwood diseases and adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions, this resilient, low-maintenance ornamental tree offers four-season beauty in a compact, tidy package.
