That looks like Chinese Lantern plant. It might kill you if you put them in your mouth. It’s poisonous. Hopefully it’s not too late.

They are the seed pods of Koelreuteria, aka goldenrain tree. They are not mature/ripe unti they turn orange, later in fall. The actual seeds can be eaten when roasted but are generally not consumed.

So not an edible "fruit" tree in the accepted sense of the term :-)

Thanks. One place says they are poisonous and Livestrong says people eat them. I will pass on eating them.

Gardengal48 - You are right.

Here is an excerpt I found about them: (Source: https://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/koelreuteria-paniculata-the-golden-rain-tree-friend-or-foe)

The golden rain tree was part of the Asian natural pharmacy with a tea that was used as an eyewash for conjunctivitis. The young seeds were roasted and eaten and the young shoots and leaves were boiled and eaten as a potherb. This is good news for anyone dealing with unwanted seedlings, however, they must be boiled through a couple of changes of water to remove the traces of cyanide that they contain. Apparently this was considered a famine food and consumed when other options were unavailable. However, Asians held this tree in high regard and it was often planted over the graves of honored scholars.

When excerpts are posted it should be indicated where they are taken from.

Thanks gardengal for the clearfication.
