Good morning! Do you have favorite seed pods, fruits and berries this time of year? What an abundance of interesting botanical forms just now! This is the Chinese dogwood, Cornus kousa chinensis ‘Milkyway’. It is one of the most heavy flowering of the Kousa types as seen by this example. Image big white flower at every point you see a fruit! The fruits are edible, tasting like a cross between a persimmon and apricot. Jams and sauces are made from them and the fruit is good for the bird populatio
