Cornus mas ‘Elegant’™

Prohibited to FL

Also known as Elehantnyi, this newer variety of Cornus mas was released in 1980 from Ukraine, A very heavy producer of pungent, delicious, glossy dark red, pear-shaped fruit 1-1/4 inches long, with an average fruit weight 5g and a sugar content of 9.1%. Unusually early to ripen and also unusual in that the fruit does not drop from the tree when ripe. Makes great preserves and fantastic juice and wine. An outstanding edible ornamental for its extraordinary early yellow blossoms, which look like tiny golden sparklers and cover the tree in a filmy haze of butter yellow.

The cold-tolerant genetic semi-dwarf tree grows to only 6′ within 10 years. Needs another Cornus mas variety as a pollinizer. Yields from a mature tree average 60 pounds.
