Continuing along the path, if we look to the right we can see a small multi-stemmed tree with many leaves with more creamy white than green. This is a variegated form of the Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas 'Variegata'). It is deciduous and its flowers appear in late winter, before the leaves, covering the tree in a strong yellow haze of bloom. The leaves themselves have veins which curve towards the tip of the leaf. The species is native to southern Europe.
