Confusing it with C. kousa, which produces edible spherical fruits. One cultivar, 'Big Apple' has been sold as a fruit tree. But I have only seen one gardener rave on the internet about C. kousa fruits as a food, have never been prompted to sample any myself.

I'd be very skeptical about any mail order plant source that avoids any use of correct botanical names. Who knows what you're going to get as their descriptions leave a lot to be desired. They include Golden Chain (Laburnum) under fruit trees for heaven's sake! 'Siberian Lavender'?? What the heck is that? (It's actually Perovskia but nowhere do they say so). And they have uniformly negative comments on the Garden Watchdog.

Cornus florida fruit only looks slightly like a strawberry - it certainly doesn't resemble one in taste and to infer that they are "sugar sweet" is stretching it to the extreme. And kousa fruits are not particularly tasty either, although I've heard they make decent jams. Cornelian cherry, Cornus mas, does produce a sweet, juicy fruit but it is very different from most flowering dogwoods and is not going to generate the "baskets full" that they allude to.

The entire website looks like a major rip off. Prices are very low, so should imagine you are getting nothing much more than a few sticks for most plants.

Dang, they should rename their company Fraud-Is-Us. I think that's one of the worst Garden Watchdog review I've ever seen.
