Flava Cornelian cherry tree, an early yellow-fruited variety with mild, tasty fruit suitable for many uses.

Flava Cornelian cherry tree (Cornus mas) produces yellow cornelian cherries with a very tasty, fairly mild flavour.

The fruit is suitable for a wide range of uses, from fresh eating to processing.

Flava ripens from early August and is among the earliest Cornelian cherry varieties. Maturity is staggered rather than all at once.

The tree is naturally resistant to diseases and crops very regularly from year to year.

Budbreak and flowering occur very early, but the flowers have excellent frost resistance.

Flava is one of the oldest Cornelian cherry varieties and is the best-known yellow-fruited form.

Its fruit is larger than that of Jantarnyj, but the tree comes into production later and is less productive.

We supply Flava as a grafted Cornelian cherry tree on seedling rootstock, grown in pot as a one-year plant, with an average height of around 1.4 m.
