Sunrise (Cornus mas 'Sunrise')
After bad-mouthing the fruit of Cornus mas for years, this year I decided to do a real test and taste it when it was ripe. Sunrise was the first to ripen and the sweetest and I was impressed. It is not a blueberry or a mulberry, but it is definitely edible.

Fruit bigger and thus more edible, I.e processable. Where did that bug come from? Wouldn’t you think I would have knocked him off? Anyhow he didn’t hurt the fruit because for the first time I actually waited until all the Cornus has ripened, and by durn! it wasn’t half bad.
