{"product_id":"cornus-mas","title":"Cornus 'Mas'","description":"\u003cp\u003eCornelian Cherry (Cornus mas) is a hardy, multi-season ornamental shrub or small tree valued for its early spring blooms, attractive foliage, and edible fruit. It produces clusters of bright yellow flowers before the leaves emerge, providing an early nectar source for pollinators. The glossy green foliage transitions to shades of red and purple in fall, while the cherry-like red fruits ripen in late summer, appealing to wildlife and specialty food markets.¶Ideal for naturalized plantings, hedgerows, and mixed borders, Cornus mas thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts to a range of soil conditions. Its resilience to cold temperatures, drought tolerance, and low maintenance needs make it a reliable choice for landscape professionals and wholesale buyers seeking durable, multi-purpose plant material.¶The fruit is commonly used to make jams, jellies, and syrups, balancing its natural tartness with added sweetness. It is also processed into juices, fruit wines, and liqueurs, offering a unique flavor profile for beverages. In addition, the fruit can be dried for snacking, pickled for a tangy treat, or used in sauces and condiments similar to cranberries. Traditional herbal medicine often incorporates Cornelian Cherry in teas and infusions due to its high vitamin C and antioxidant content.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Willoway Nurseries","offers":[{"title":"G3 24\" MS","offer_id":50179149037925,"sku":"15849","price":34.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"G7 48\" SQ","offer_id":50179149070693,"sku":"16231","price":100.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"G10 SQ 48\" MS","offer_id":50243816653157,"sku":"10889","price":138.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/3685\/6677\/files\/cornus_mas_3.jpg?v=1771964281","url":"https:\/\/www.willowaynurseries.com\/products\/cornus-mas","provider":"Willoway Nurseries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
