Kasanlak is a modern form of the the Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas) and features larger pear-like fruits, which ripen in late summer.
As with all forms of the Cornelian Cherry the fruitlets are primarily used for culinary purposes, but they are very versatile, and can be used for jams, drying, or even eaten raw if you like an acidic flavour.
Pre-order now for delivery from September onwards for pot grown trees or December for bare-root trees and mixed orders.
Kasanlak grows best in neutral or slightly acidic soils. It cannot tolerate chalky soils. It should reach a height of about 3m in the longer term, and a similar spread.
