Cornelian cherries are ideal garden dwellers. They are not fussy about location, require little maintenance, and almost never get sick. On the other hand, after a few years, they delight bumblebees and bees with their blossoms in spring and people and birds with their slightly sour, healthy fruits in late summer.
