Hello all:

Another identification request please.

I used a program called "Leaf" but it could not identify it correctly...

Thanks!

It's a cornus fruit. Maybe something like Cornus kousa.

On a different note, can this tree be grown from cuttings?

Thanks,

Propagate by semi-hardwood or hardwood cuttings or grafting

More info at http://www.pfaf.org/user/cmspage.aspx?pageid=58
"The plant can also be propagated by cuttings, though these are not as
vigorous as seedlings. However, if you know of a particularly good
fruiting form* then cuttings are the best way of increase. Half-ripe
side shoots 10 - 15cm long and preferably with a heel can be taken in
July or August. Put them in a sandy compost and place them in a lightly
shaded place in a greenhouse or polytunnel. It is important to keep the
shoots in a fairly humid atmosphere and preferably with some bottom heat
to encourage rooting. Rooting should take place within a few weeks,
though we usually get quite poor results. We get a much better take with
hardwood cuttings in late autumn once the leaves have fallen. These
should be 15 - 20cm long of the current years growth and preferably with
a heel. We put them straight into the ground in a polytunnel and usually
get good results."

*NB PFAF is interested in food plants. You can apply their directions to
good flowering forms, too.

Yes, but how do you separate out the seeds? The skin is also tasty, but a
little leathery. That doesn't leave all that much pulp to eat.

Mine doesn't get much sun, so its fruits are small.

Well, I actually have not tasted the fruits yet. The tree is at a public place, and my roommate brought the two fruits I photographed. He then ate them when I told them they are safe...
