A look at Cornelian Cherry or Cornus Mas in our 6 acre food forest landscape. Over 10 years of growing these plants and it feels pretty clear they are very tolerant of a fair bit of shade, an excellent understory shrub/tree layer plant and amazingly resistant to deer browse. Huge attributes for a complex and resilient cold hardy and long lived system!

Happy growing!
I have a dozen started from seed I overwintered and was curious about protecting them when I plant them out. Thanks for the note about deer not browsing them, very helpful! I've found that harvesting them when they are deep red and then letting them sit for a few days they tend to ripen up and sweeten. I love this fruit!
I have and love them too.. natures candy..
Those cornelian cherries behind the mulberry are loaded! Happy!
well done -- thank you for the walk-through for mature Cornelian Cherry bushes. the comment about deer not browsing the plant was VERY helpful too.
I love the plant profiles, I planted lovage because of the info you shared!
The Cornelian cherries are great for jellies.
Great plant, great introduction! A good choice for very shady areas!
I would love to see more of these videos too 😍
That's an awesome tree!
Definitely on my wish list!
Super worthwhile tree to have in the landscape
Terrific information!! Thank you ☺️
LOVE the plant profiles!
Lovely.
This is the first video of yours I've clicked on in a long while. I really appreciate the format of going over the characteristics of your different perennials
Some folks definitely prefer the plant focus.
I was just as interested to hear about your Larches. We have a number of them as well and their fall color is spectacular. Too bad they look like such a Charlie Brown tree in the winter. Really enjoy your channel and appreciate the work you put in to it!
Weeping larch is a great ornamental. Going to try some cornus mad😋
Hi Sean and Sasha,
I was wondering if you could hang a tarp under the cherries so they would collect and maybe funnel down to a collection sack (like the kind onions come in) or a bucket with holes so water can drain out. If you didn't want to hang the tarp off the tree you could put a few stakes of black locust in the ground and tie off the tarp to that. Cheers,
Bill
Internet says sheet-and-shake harvest is a popular harvest method for these.
They are also one of the earliest plants providing food for bees in spring. They flower before they get leaves and even before willows do. My Cornus broke at the stem, when a wall fell on it six years ago - now it has once again become taller than I am.
Thank you for sharing this. Yes, one of the very first flowers of all!
I have seen Cornelian cherry trees where when they are perfectly ripe they taste almost like bubblegum...but such beautiful tasting ones are very rare to find even here where they grow native
Easy way to harvest them when ripe: spread a tarp under your shrub, and gently shake the branches over the tarp. The ripest ones will fall off; come back for the ones that don't fall right off a few days later, or go ahead and pick them a tad early and let them ripen in a paper bag in a cool spot, much like tomatoes. Taste a bit too tart? Leave'em a few days. They'll be delicious.
Hope o get to order some! 😊
We have a monstrous sized one in one of our, full-max sun garden beds. Always thought it was just another dogwood, as 2 other dogwoods species are growing in that bed as well, and never tried them. This year I tried them for the first time. I thought they were kinda sour and, unless they were on the ground, kinda astringent. I’m curious if there is an easy way to propagate them, because it is way too big and is killing the ones around it so we plan on either removing it or pruning it way back
They are very resilient to pruning, so we grow them as hedges in Europe. I love mine as a tree, but they yours be able to cope well.
Thank you for great video! Can you please advise how to grow this tree from seed? Thank you !
Any tips for seed starting? I just found a nice loaded tree while on vacation and gathered a few bags. I've heard they might need both a warm, moist stratification, and then the typical cold stratification. just wondering if you have any input, thanks and great video as always!
I just love it when you said don't pick the fruit early, wait for them to fall to the ground, why because then they are ripe... all fruit don't set their enzymes until usually the last 2 weeks before they are ripe. The majority of people pick fruit way to early before the plant has a chance to finish the completed fruit. Fruit with enzymes in place are always alkaline even if they taste bitter or sour when they finish in digestion they always finish in the alkaline stage which is perfect for the body, if picked early and eaten they finish in the body in an acidic stage and don't finish of alkaline which is bad for the body. Only bananas ripen if picked green .... love you guys and vids...cheers
Many (but not all) fruit ripen after picking. Google "climacteric fruit".
@@gunning6407 Out of all the fruit I am familiar with the only 1 that ripens after picking is the banana. Every other fruit will not riper after being picked. Now having said that all fruit will get soft or change color and may get sweeter, but these fruit now are fermenting not ripening. Just listen to some people who some times may say, I had a piece of fruit that didn't taste as good as the last one, why? because 1 was ripening the other looked and felt ripe but it got that way because it fermented.
Another clue to tell if fruit is fermented or ripe look for fruit flies you won't see fruit flies around ripe fruit until they are over ripe and about to rot, not so with fermenting fruit, you will see flies every where.
@@gunning6407 Also just to make it easier to understand "climacteric fruit" is just another way to fool you it is just fruit fermenting. lol lol not true ripening ....
Absolutely. I mean, who really needs science anyway... Global warming? Hoax. Vaccines? Hoax. Fruit ripening? All hoaxes.
You forgot to mention cornelian cherries never have worms.
Or any disease pressure or browse or anything. How do they do it!!!
@@edibleacres Well my joy didn't last too long, this year I have the first small harvest of cornelian cherries from one little tree, and today one was fully red and guess what, it came off easily and turned out it was bitten by some insect, and I looked at another cherry that was also ripening - also bitten. Never noticed this in a forest though, I guess that (unknown) insect doesn't like to live in a forest.
I hope that when the tree grows it will have so many cherries that it won't matter much.

Hello everyone
If u got seeds can u plant them and when?
Thank u
We moved onto property with 2 well-established Cornelian cherries, and it is harder than I thought to get info on them. Have you ever heard of anyone using it for dried fruit or juice? We like jam and jellies, but there is only so much jelly my small family can eat! And any pruning tips? They are planted too close to my pear trees, and shading them out. Thanks! Love your channel!!
We traditionally make jams in Europe.
My family in Italy makes a syrup out of the fruit; it is wonderful on Greek yogurt with some granola for breakfast.
@@anngirdano That sounds delicious, I will have to try it!
Sir, Cornelian cerry can grow in tropical season? Without winter
I do not know, sorry.
How can I get Sam to plant them for myself? Can you give me a message? Let me know please.
Do chickens enjoy the fallen fruit? These would be great for around the chicken area. Howdy from an hour west!
I bet they would love these...
@Edibleacres I've planted a few Cornus Mas, and every winter the rabbits completely strip the bark off them. They do keep resprouting from the roots, but we never get fruit due to this. Have you had this problem? Is the only solution just to cage them?
Sounds like you need to put a ring around those to support keeping the rabbits off...
There is one in Sonenberg Garden that is huge. I tried to plant some of the seeds but nothing came up.
I have had mixed results with them... Seems best to plant nice and deep in the fall.
How about Nanking cherry? Grow any of those?
We do. They are great plants. ruclips.net/video/fk7yPNBheGg/видео.html - I talk about them here...
Have you tried rooting cuttings of these?
In the past I did and had little success, but that doesn't mean much. Give it a shot!
not all that fun ..LOLs as your mouth goes awire with a pucker. I have some juice that we turned to vinegar, very promising flavor. Harvesting the fruit, I get these fine hairs from the tree that make me itch...
There is more to learn on processing them for sure, but a very lovely fruit and tree I think!
deer eat mine
Different deer have different diets, definitely have learned that over time!
Mine too. We have blacktail deer where I live though, different species from new york whitetail.
