Golden Glory Corneliancherry, Cornus mas 'Golden Glory', is a rounded, multi stemmed shrub or small tree. Small yellow flowers are produced freely in spring and are followed by 58 bright cherry red fruit in summer. The glossy, deep green foliage turns yellow in the fall. Golden Glory is easily grown in average, medium, well drained soil with full sun to part shade. It prefers moist, organically rich soils. To control spread, promptly remove root suckers. This low branching, round to oval, deciduous shrub which typically grows 15 to 20 feet and can be trained to be a small tree. The tiny red drupes mature in the summer, but are often hidden by the foliage. Drupes are technically edible, but not particularly tasty and are infrequently harvested unless for use in syrups or jams. Golden Glory can be used as a hedge, screen or foundation plant, or as a specimen or grouping in the shrub border. There is no serious insect or disease problems with this shrub.
