Our Kousa Dogwood tree.
Planted shortly after Emilie was born some, 17 years ago. The tree we originally planted didn't survive, however, a small sucker from the original root survived and now graces our front yard.
This time of year the berrie-like fruit from the Kousa ripen, turn red and fall to the ground. Fruits are technically edible, but are left for the birds. The deer seem to enjoy them too.
They're somewhat attractive, once they've turned their deep red, against the greens and reds of the leaves but squishy and messy once they fall, especially in the treads of the lawn tractor.
