That's it! Thank you so much. It's on front of my sister's house which she just bought last fall. We weren't sure about the fruit. Thanks again!

This dogwood is native to Japan, but is increasingly being planted throughout North America to replace flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), which is affected by a fungal disease. The berries are edible, if you're looking for a snack!
