Cornus Species, Cornelian Cherry, Cornelian Cherry Dogwood, European Cornel. It bears large red fruit that are edible and used for jams and jellies. It has a sort of exfoliating bark that looks nice. It is a dense, dark, rounded small tree that bears small yellow flower clusters for about a month in March into early April. Not often planted by layman homeowners, but occasionally used by landscape designers who know it. It is a pretty plant from Europe that is sold at most larger nurseries in the upper Midwest as in Chicagoland.

It's tough, hardy, adaptable, and virtually pest free. Unlike most fruit trees, this one takes care of itself. There are cultivars expressly selected for fruit size and quality, and if you're getting one with fruit harvest in mind I'd go for a cultivar. This species is widely grown for fruit use in eastern Europe. I find them tasty fresh (I also like fresh sour cherries), but I can see them used like sour cherries in cooking/baking. The scarlet summer fruits are ornamental, and taste a a bit like a sour cherry. They're a greenish yellow, quite attractive, though they may not be showy enough for those who prefer forsythias.

In our area, dogwoods typically do fine in full sun, but if your tree is planted in a hot, full-sun location, it might benefit from some afternoon shade.
Rather than keep its leaves flat and susceptible to burning in the summer sun, dogwoods curl their leaves to minimize leaf surface area and thus minimize any damage they might receive. Leaf curl on dogwoods is essentially a protective reaction to stress the tree feels. Typically within 5 years of transplanting, you’ll see the majority of leaf curl diminish. If you’ve planted your dogwood tree in the last 2-3 years, this is completely normal–your tree simply hasn’t gotten its roots system completely established. A: Dogwoods very commonly exhibit curled leaves in summer, so chances are you don’t have too much to worry about.
