It's that time of year again.
One day we'll look out, and all the fruit will be gone.
The birds and the deer think they are delicious!

Wow, my two don't fruit anywhere near that heavily. The birds don't eat them either. They just drop off all over the place. They hurt when you step on them in the lawn!

Wow, that is a bumper fruit crop! Don't know what a kousa is. Looks like a dogwood? Trees and shrubs in our area are just smothered in seed, best in several years. Is the same thing happening on Long Island? Great photo of a very cool looking fruit. emm

Wow! That's quite a crop. It's not something that can be turned into a jelly?

I saw a couple of those on the ground while walking in the park a few days ago . . . didn't have a clue what they were. So happy to have learned something new!

Cornus kousa is indeed a dogwood. Chinese or Korean native dogwoods that are generally immune to Anthracnose.
