Bumper crop

We have a couple dogwood trees at our place. This year we have a bumper crop of berries. These are the edible version of dogwood berries, but I’m not trying them lol. I read you gotta get down past the skin and seeds to get to the good stuff.

Just noticed how much the weather cleared up on the second pic

Re: Bumper crop

That's a lot of berries. I take it that you don't have many tree rats, aka squirrels in your area?

Re: Bumper crop

I believe that tree is called an Osaka dogwood, I have one in my backyard.

I haven’t tried eating one, any good ?

Re: Bumper crop

I haven’t tried one, don’t see myself ever trying one lol.

As far as wildlife eating them none seem to be eating them, not even birds.

Re: Bumper crop

If the squirrels and birds are not eating them that’s a good idea not to eat them

Re: Bumper crop

Persimmons taste great, if you get them ripe. Otherwise you'll be puckering up into next week from the taste.

Yeah for sure.

We had a tree in the back yard .

You learned when to eat them.

Re: Bumper crop

Dunno why but all kinds of birds seem to be loving these berries now. Maybe they weren’t quite ripe enough? I’m still not trying one.
