I've watched enough one piece to identify the gomu gomu no mi
I plant the tree in our back garden for it beautiful white flowers, never knew that the berries are edible
Respectful response to your recent question:
I would really appreciate a series of fruit videos based on their Zones.
Like you, I consider myself a quality-fruit freak.
For example, I live in Miami, FL Zone-10b.
And, knowing what quality fruits do well growing in this Zone, and where to get them, would be really helpful and appreciated.
Thank you for all your fruit videos.
Please keep going and don’t stop.
Pink football
I'm literally standing in Central Park and wondering if I can eat it😂 thank you, gonna grab some now
i swear the into music to this video sounds like it came from the TV show M.A.S.H.
Just tried them. We have an enormous tree or bush or whatever outside our apartment. Not much flesh to eat per berry but pretty amazing
I have this in my backyard
I always see those and never knew they were edible
Love them ❤️
We have one in our backyard in Bethesda MD, just outside of DC. I just tried them for the first time and they are ripe and super delicious! I just have times it just right!
Bees love them
Literally saw this for the first time on the ground today. Had no idea it was edible.
It tastes like chap stick 😋
Covid Fruit
Covid Fruit.
I love those! When its ripe its juicy and sweet.
Stop making your intro music so fucking loud! Holy shit. Just purely frustrating.
The ones from my local dogwood tree taste just like pears. They are all different.
I've wondered if you can put some sort of tarp or something under the tree and just shake it to get the fruit off the kousa dogwood. If the fruit falls: it's ripe, right? What about mashing it up and putting it through a sieve to get just the juice, or making ice cream of it?
Cornus mas is also another dogwood fruit to try. Interestingly it has quite a different shape and texture in comparison to Cornus kousa :^)
One of the most overplanted trees in my area along Bradford pears, and ornamental cherries/plums/crabapples.
APE-PREE-COT, apricot
This looks like the coronavirus lol.
is it just me or does the unripe fruit look just like rokakaka from jojo?
what is the name of your intro song on this episode?
I've been wondering about this fruit for some time now so thanks for clearing that up for me 👍
My wife and I watch for your reaction faces.Hilarious.
I had several dogwood trees at my house growing up, and we would see thousands of these every year. We never thought to eat them, if we thought about them at all it was the nuisance of them getting squished underfoot. Honestly, looking back, I don't know why I never tried to taste one. Hell, I ate bugs and grass literal feet from this tree and never thought to eat the fruit. Weird how the brain works. Maybe one day when I'm visiting the old place, maybe I'll try one.
i think you got that fruit wrong
that is a devil fruit from one piece
I've got one of these in my yard. I'm going to eat the fruit when they ripen this year.
Deer come to our front yard and eat these off the ground when they start to fall. I believe I will start picking them and put them in the back yard for the deer and other wildlife that find it's way to our yard.
Just realized we have one in our yard in Ohio and they’re good 🙂
Looks like tripophobia
Sorry Sir, but you make me NOT want to try these, you do not seem to be very enthused to be eating them, smile!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw this tree at my school. 😍
Came for the fruit. Stayed for the intro music.
I have this in my front yard….. I love them
They are delicious. Taste a bit like peach. I have a tree growing in my front yard.
it tastes like melon in my experience
What's the name of the song at the start of the video, anyone?
Devil Fruit… probably grants you the ability to turn into rubber or gum but watch out! You won't be able to swim now.
Those berries were on a tree in a property we purchased. I ate several one day and my stomach felt upset a little bit, but I didn't realize it's because of them as online said they're edible. So next day I ate a couple dozens of them and got so sick! My stomach got awfully upset, I felt nauseous and then threw up. Stay away from those berries!
once saw a family eating the berries from our kousa dogwood in the front yard, that’s how my family figured out they were edible. eaten them almost every year since- taste like peach mixed with pumpkin. very good
There’re a couple of beautiful trees outside the hospital at which I work. One of them has exceptional fruit, even the peels taste good (though still gritty).
Seriously I am addicted to these things. I’m so glad I found them.
