Description

Golden Glory Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas ‘Golden Glory’): Early Yellow Bloom and Edible Red Fruit

Golden Glory is an improved selection of cornelian cherry dogwood, introduced by Synnesvedt Nursery in Illinois. It is more upright, vigorous, and floriferous than the species, with glossier foliage and brighter yellow flowers. It is not a true dogwood like flowering or kousa—it blooms weeks earlier and carries its flowers in dense yellow clusters rather than showy bracts.

It reaches about 22 feet tall and 17 feet wide, with a broadly oval habit that can be trained as a small tree by removing suckers and lower branches. In late winter to early spring, before the leaves emerge, the bare branches are covered in masses of small, bright golden-yellow flowers. Summer foliage is glossy dark green. Fall color is slight to reddish purple. Mature bark is scaly and exfoliating. Female trees produce bright red, cherry-like fruit in mid-summer that is edible—tart fresh, but good for jams and wildlife.

Use it as a specimen, hedge, or early-season accent where you want color before forsythia. It is not a large shade tree.
