Live outside of Boston.

Have this tree in my front yard about 20 feet tall or so.
Have no idea what it is.
Has pointed leaves, no cones.

Moved in about 4 yrs ago, and tree was like, well, just there since,
and
looking pretty.

Just now, WOW !

Zillions of round, reddish color, balls have appeared all over for the
first
time (at least in 4 yrs.).
About 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.

Surface is not smooth, has many protrusions going outward.
Almost like a small golf ball, with the dimples going outward rather
than
inward.

Any idea what this is, and what is happening ?

Thanks,
Bob


Try Arbutus unedo [The strawberry tree].




Unlikely - the tree is growing in Boston - Arbutus unedo is zone 8 - 10
I'm voting with the others for Cornus kousa. I used to see them all over
the place on Long Island which has similar growing conditions. Too cold
for them where I live now pout
