Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Kazanlak is a reliable large-fruited cornelian cherry. Its red fruit is fleshy and juicy, good enough for fresh eating when fully ripe and excellent for preserves, syrups and drinks. Yields become generous as the shrub matures. Ripening is spread over several weeks, however, so the tree needs repeated visits during harvest.

Description

Kazanlak Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas) is a Bulgarian variety appreciated for its very large cornelian cherries and reliable annual production.

The fruit is suitable for fresh eating when fully ripe, as well as for preserves, jams, syrups and traditional processing. The berries ripen progressively from late August to mid-September, and reach their best flavour when they naturally fall from the tree.

Kazanlak flowers very early in the season, but the blossom is highly resistant to frost. The tree is naturally resistant to disease and can crop regularly year after year.

This productive variety can become highly fruitful with age, with mature trees capable of producing significant harvests under good growing conditions.

Our Kazanlak Cornelian cherry plants are available in several formats depending on current nursery stock, including young plants and larger container-grown plants that may already carry fruit buds.
