The first picture shows fruit on a Cornelian cherry tree on the Purdue campus. Not a true cherry, it's actually a dogwood tree, Cornus mas. But the fruits are good to eat like cherries. This picture was taken September 8, 2009. These trees are planted for their flowers in very early spring, here is a link to a previous post featuring this very same tree. The big tree trunk in the background is not the Cornus mas, but rather an old oak tree (Quercus).Link to Cornelian cherry:
