So pretty! We have some things starting to leaf out but right here on the water we are still 10-15 degrees cooler than inland. Jane

Spring has sprung here in Northeastern Indiana.
Our first sign of spring is not the early blooming forsythia, but the eager blossoming of our Sansuyu. Also known as Cornelian Cherry, it is not a true cherry, but is a variety of flowering plant in the dogwood family that bears a small edible bright red oblong berry. Our Sansuyus are grown from seed from South Korea where it is quite commonly found. Hardly ever seen in the west.
Unfortunately, we don't get hardly any fruit. I think it is just too early blooming. Either the blossoms get nipped by a late frost, or it is too cool for the pollinators to come out. But here is a picture of what the fruit would look like.
