It's The Berries!

"Kousa Dogwood berries are small fruits, averaging 2 to 4 centimeters in diameter. The fruits are a type of drupe, comprised of 20 to 40 individual carpels that fuse to form a spherical appearance.

 

The surface also ripens from green to orange-red or red-purple and has a gritty and grainy feel with a bitter, astringent taste, making it somewhat unpleasant to consume. Underneath the skin, the bright orange-yellow flesh has a slippery, lightly mealy, sticky, custard-like consistency.

 

The flesh has a sweet, tropical, and earthy taste with a unique blend of pumpkin, mango, and persimmon-like nuances."
