The Asian dogwood Cornus Kousa “Satomi” tis billed as pink but in reality, on our tree, it’s speckled dark pink on the sunny side of the tree and barely pink on the shady side. It blooms much later than the native dogwood, which is very nice. The fall fruit is edible, subtlety sweet and is loved by birds. I’ve wondered about mixing them with other fruit to preserve and I’ve read that you can make wine out of the fruit. Is there anything you can’t make wine out of? We just enjoy a few of them fresh though, competing with the birds for a week or so.
