| I bought a house this spring in Oregon and this tree is planted in the back yard. After asking a few people and multiple searches online, I still can't seem to identify what it is. I have a 5 week old daughter and three dogs. The tree is about 10 foot tall and is so full of reddish yellow fruit I'm afraid the branches may break off. I would really like to know what it is so I can decide if it's something that needs to be removed prior to my daughter getting old enough where she may put a fruit that has dropped in her mouth.
Thanks so much for the help. |

| Cornelian Cherry - Cornus mas It's in the Dogwood family and completely edible. Apparently somewhat astringent while still on the plant, they fully ripen after falling. Described as a combo of sour cherry and cranberry...probably best used for preserves and cooking. |
