#Cornus mas aurea variegata full#
The cornelian cherry dogwood prefers full to partial shade, and moist, well-drained rich soils. The common name refers to the bright red fruits that resemble the gemstone, Carnelian. The species name, mas, is Latin for the word "male." This refers to the possible absence of fruits on new plants for several years. The genus name, Cornus, is Latin from the word cornu, which means "horn." This references the hardness of the wood. The shrub or small tree is native to central and southern Europe as well as western Asia. The plant has excellent resistance to dogwood anthracnose and the dogwood borer. On mature trees, the bark is scaly and exfoliating. Red fruits develop and mature in the mid-summer. Its yellow flowers appear in early spring before the leaves emerge. The cornelian cherry dogwood is a deciduous shrub or small tree that can grow up to 25 feet tall and 20 feet wide. Phonetic Spelling KOR-nus mass Description
