Cornus mas
Cornus mas or the yellow dogwood is a small to medium sized tree or shrub native to much of central and southern Europe and western Asia. It blooms early in the spring with a sea of yellow flowers on the bare wood, after flowering small cherry-like fruits (hence the name 'cornelian cherry') develop that turn a beautiful red and are edible. Unlike its congeners, this Cornus mas also feels well in calcareous soil, even in wet clay. In the autumn, a beautiful leaf discoloration to orange-red to red-purple also follows.
