Hi,
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
First thing that comes to mind is Cornus kousa.

I saw something very much like this a day ago. Growing in poor soil
on a slope leading into a lake in 7a (N Georgia). Sprawling, perhaps
wider than tall. The fruit looked to be no bigger than am inch at most.
