Drijenjak, Cornelian Cherry, Drenjine
-
-
Late August, early September
You have probably heard the saying, "Healthy as a Cornelian cherry." Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas) belongs to the dogwood family and grows in Southern Europe and Southwest Asia. Other local names include bila svibovina, drijenak, drjenić, drijenka, drijenovina, and drijenj. Sweet preserves, jams, and especially juice made from ripe Cornelian cherries are considered one of the most delightful treats and are also a natural remedy widely appreciated. Unfortunately, Cornelian cherries are underutilized in our region. The plant is grown in gardens and parks for its beautiful yellow flowers and edible fruits and is beneficial near apiaries. Medicinal compounds in the fruit effectively help with diarrhea, intestinal bleeding, catarrh of the intestines, and various intestinal inflammations, particularly for Crohn's disease.
Tart with a pleasant flavor.
The fruits of the Cornelian cherry are elongated, red drupes. Young fruits are bright red and not recommended for eating as they are not fully ripe and lack flavor. When fully mature, they turn dark red and are tasty and visually appealing.

Resistant to diseases. Very long-living and hardy species.
You can purchase seedlings of Domestic Cornelian Cherry at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
