A Korean Dogwood grew at the corner of the house I grew up in, it set quarter-size fruit. I
observed the squirrels feeding on it, eventually tried it myself, and decided it was absolutely
delicious. I might compare its flavor a little to banana, or pawpaw.
The majority of fruits on these trees are in the 2-2.5 cm size range, but one produces fruits that are 4cm diameter. Looks like a candidate for propagation, to me.
Agreed, the pulp tastes most reminiscent of pawpaw, to me.

I stopped eating it when I found my heart racing and skipping beats after eating it. Has anyone
else ever noticed this effect? It's a shame because its a high quality easy fruit from a care
free tree.
Hmm. Never noticed that, but I'll see if I notice it today.
