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. Dee- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...ousa_fruit.jpg I second your nomination. All in favor ??? 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornus_kousa Dee Or maybe 'Litchi Chinensis'? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...sis_fruits.JPG Jon |
