We had a Korean Dogwood with delicious fruits.  Kind of like PawPaw inside, I 
guess is the closest description.  I stopped eating them after I noticed my 
heart racing and skipping beats.  I don't know if there's any scientific 
basis, but I figured, that's it, they're not important enough to eat if they 
give me arrythmia.

The squirrels ate them too, but sparingly, as compared to the peaches, which 
the squirrels wipe out as very green fruit.  This year the bushy-tailed rats 
even took the pears that they never took before.  Next March, I start 
trapping.
