'Aurea' A truly golden plant, since golden yellow leaves follow a superb display of golden yellow flowers in February. Remarkably tolerant of sunny sites, provided adequate summer moisture is retained. Not available this season |

'Aureoelegantissima' (= 'Elegantissima' ) This is a lovely form with brightly coloured leaves variegated pink, yellow and green. It also seems to be found under a multitude of names, but this I believe to be the current official one! Limited availability - please ask for details |

| CORNUS mas 'Flava' Distinguished from its peers by rich golden fruit (instead of the usual red). Not available this season |

'Golden Glory' Deep green leaves and very prolific flowering much younger than possible from a seedling. Large red fruits. It has recently, very deservedly, been promoted to AGM status. It is indeed a great plant, being reliable and easy to grow. 3m From £25.00 Specimens also available - ask for details |

'Jolico' Amazingly, this German form was selected for commercial fruit production. Edible yes, but hardly worthy of orchard status although they make a fantastic source of food for the wildlife. A fantastic ornamental though since masses of large vivid red berries from mid summer follow the lovely yellow flowers of February. Not available this season |

| CORNUS mas 'Redstone' An American selection for heavy fruit production. Not available this season |

CORNUS mas 'Spring Glow' The late J. C. Raulston introduced this one. As a species, Cornus mas flowers best after a cold winter, but this one requires less cold, so is great in warmer climes. Not available this season |

'Variegata' My favourite of the group, with broad white margins to the leaves. They contrast superbly with the large bright red berries. An excellent plant for year round interest. Eventually it will make a small tree, but it is better grown as a shrub. From £25.00 Specimens also available - please ask for size and price details. |

'Norman Hadden' (C. kousa x C. capitata) This beautiful small tree originated in Porlock, Somerset. Our plants are derived from the original plant now at Knightshayes Court, Devon. Creamy white flower bracts in June turning deep pink with age. Large strawberry like fruits in autumn. Happiest in a sheltered sunny site. Semi-evergreen, dependent on the winter. From £35.00 Fantastic specimens also available - ask for details |
