Cornus mas_Spring 2026

 Nice few hours walking at Protected Landscape Area Czech Karst  near village Svatý Jan pod Skalou.    We go there throughout the year many times.  Early spring visits have a special charm.    Nice sunny day with brisk early morning start flavors the day with a special charm.   It enhances colours of blossoming cornuses that are quite abundant there  accompanied with Pasque flowers ( Pulsatilla pratensis ),   Spring cinquefoil (  Potentill verna )  and many other less noticeable alpines that favour south facing sunny slopes. Cornus mas Potentilla verna Pulsatilla pratensis How about having a cornus as a bonsai.    Maros Belan has a GREAT one called Vesna (Spring )... This one is from my collection in a form of  informal tree.  A form that is not very typical for this species that has more bushy growth.
