The Japanese cornel (Cornus officinalis), native to China and Korea, can also be found across Japan. The tree produces clusters of bright yellow flowers from March to April, followed by red berries from October to November.
The bright yellow of Japanese cornel flowers is called a "vitamin color" in Japan because it's said to energize people—something I definitely believe is true. In spring, many people stop to admire the pretty blossoms and talk about the joy of the season. Surprisingly and sadly, though, most don't actually know what the tree is called. The Japanese cornel is one of the most underrated trees because it blooms at almost the same time as cherry and Japanese apricot blossoms.

山茱萸(サンシュユ)です。中国、韓国、日本原産。日本ではほぼ全国で見られます。早春に明るい黄色の散形花序の花を付け、実は10月から11月に真赤に熟します。
山茱萸の花の色は鮮やかな黄色。ビタミンカラーです。春には花の前で多くの人が立ち止まり春の到来を喜びますが、残念なことに「山茱萸」という名を知る人はほとんどいません。桜の開花とほぼ同じ時期に咲くせいか、その美しさが過小評価されているように思えます。
