Saffron Sentinel Cornelian Cherry

Cornus mas ‘Saffron Sentinel’

Cornelian Cherry Dogwood is especially known for its bright yellow flowers that are among the first things to blossom in the spring. It also bears tart fruit used in jam, and is very resistant to disease and pests.  The Saffron Sentinel variety is columnar in shape and has dark green foliage in the summer. The tree grows to about 20 metres tall. This tree grows at the bottom of the South Lookout, 10 metres east of the lowland path, and 5 metres away from a donor bench.

Celebrating David Spurr Spendlove and Rosemary Jean Spendlove (née Webber)

This donation honours Rosemary and David Spendlove, our parents, who were lifelong dedicated contributors to their community, church, city, and country. They loved the arboretum and visited regularly, as they lived about a 10 minute walk away.

Donated by Paul, Melissa, Emily, Ava, Mike, Angel, Vesper, and Luna Spendlove
