It is one of the earliest shrubs to bloom with tiny, yellow, star-like umbels in late-winter to early spring. It has exfoliating grayish brown bark on older branches and the trunk. The fleshy, bright red fruit that appear in late summer are edible but not especially tasty.

Plant in full sun in a well drained soil, clay or loam, in practically any soil pH.

(Japanese Cornelian Cherry)

Japanese cornelian cherry is a late winter flowering shrub that produces tiny clusters of sunny yellow blossoms. After flowering, this eastern Asian native produces berries that slowly turn from green to bright red. Its medium green foliage turns an appealing red-purple in autumn, and its bark is an interesting scaly blend of gray, orange and brown.

This dogwood is not fussy about the soil in which it grows, but should be planted in full to partial sun for best flowering, fruiting and fall-color....
