Shopping on Friday on Long Island, I wandered into a mini grove of dogwoods at a nursery, and started grazing. The fruit is at peak ripeness. The skin is not nice (leathery and tannic) , so I break the fruit open and eat the insides, which include some large seeds. The flavour is a lot like ripe papaya. Apparently I did the same thing - and said the same thing - last year, too.

Makes me question my ID-a-bility.
Mine is kousa and yours is florida!
:-)
That's why I plant kousas for all my clients...so I can graze!
Ellen, lol...me too! And amelanchiers...
Yes, yes. I've never seen (or noticed, 24 year old I was) the Kousa fruit, but do remember planting them. REmarkably asian looking, lychee-ish.
