Evergreen shrub with small strange white fruit

10 years ago

This shrub was already well-established when we moved into our home, and I'd love to know what it is. It's green all year, and right now (May 22), it has small, hard, strangely-shaped white fruit with seeds taking most of the space in the fruit. Currenly, it's around 7.5' tall. Any ideas?

Platycladus orientalis or Oriental Arborvitae, very popularly used here as a cemetery shrub
