Cornus mas ‘Golden Glory’ (Cornelian Cherry / Dogwood)
A striking ornamental shrub or small tree, ‘Golden Glory’ produces large, golden-yellow flowers in early spring—before foliage emerges—followed by showy, tart red fruits that attract songbirds in mid-summer. Its upright, rounded form and versatile growth habit make it ideal as a hedge, screen, foundation planting, or specimen in mixed borders.
Adaptable to rich, well-drained soils, it can also be naturalized in open woodland areas. Moderate to fast-growing and deer resistant, this Cornelian cherry offers multi-season interest and edible fruit.
