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 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 thats 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.

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.
