Looks like Dogwood fruit, each about the size of a pea, not
1-1.5" in diameter.


According to Wikipedia, the fruit is 2-3 cm in diameter though
can be up to 4 cm.


*the description of the fruit sounds like dogwood (& those are
edible, BTW), but would you describe the leaves as "pointy"?

I wouldn't, no. *But I could see how someone who didn't know much about
plants might do so. *A simple leaf with a point on the end might be
described as pointy *:-) *But I guess if the OP doesn't post back with
a response or a photo we may never know for sure.

Reading this thread, I thought I'd snap some photos of my own pointy-leaved
tree with red golf balls:http://www.tfrog.com/digitals/daily/daily.htm

The golf balls do not appear annually, which may be why it comes as a
surprise to the OP, and mine are between 1/2" to an 1". They also mostly
appear only on the side of the tree exposed to sunlight.
