Cornelian Cherry Tree  Cornus mas Redstone Seeds per pack ~ 10 Germination: 98% (Packed for 2025) Cornelian cherry is a hardy shrub or small tree often used as an ornamental landscaping plant. Native to Eurasia, and particularly popular in the Caucasus region, it produces beautiful, edible fruits that are high in vitamins and minerals. They are not generally eaten raw, but make excellent jams, jellies, sauces, and beverages. The wood of this species is incredibly hard and durable. It's so dense it actually sinks in water (most woods float). Ancient Greek craftspeople utilized it almost exclusively for their spears, javelins, and bows.
