Dogwood, Cornus
|
Etymology: from Latin word meaning horn, because its wood is hard as horn. Origin: the Corneliancherry Dogwood, Cornus mas and the blood Dogwood, Cornu sanguinea, are European species, from oriental Mediterranean coast. There are superb American and Asiatic species, used to decorate gardens. Habitat: half shade or light. Dogwoods appreciate limestones, rather dry. They fear soils rich in organic fertilizations, as well as compact clay soils. Hardiness: zone 6 (they support cold until -23 °C or -9 °F). Height: 14 m tall. |
Their fruit (the Cornelian cherries) is ripe in August-September: it is a drupe, only edible those of Dogwood male.
Uses: the berries of the male dogwood (dogwood cherries) ferment (dogwood cherries wine), can be distilled or cooked in jam. Some oil extracted from the fruit of the blood dogwood, it is possible to make soap.
