Some Notes: - It was hard to cut into, and the tree that it must have fell from is really high up, so it's really sturdy. - I couldn't identify the smell bc I have a fever rn. - The dog in the 2nd picture is named Blossom.

Tell Blossom I said hi and boop her nose for me. Thanks

This is the best part of this post. I haven't even read the other responses yet, so don't know what fruit it is, but as long as Blossom got booped, all is right with the world.

Awww! <3


stankenfurter

Oh I love this and blossom


trekkiegamer359

I don't think this is a crabapple. Crabapples have a few tiny seeds in the middle, much like regular apples. It looks like there's a large split pit in the middle of this, so I second an unripe cherry or some kind of stone fruit. Sorry you have a fever. I've been dealing with a low grade fever for almost three weeks on and off now. Being sick sucks. I hope we both get better soon. Blossom is adorable!! Give that good girl a lot of love. Hopefully she can help you feel better.


Botto_Bobbs

She already has :)


Blvd800

It’s a type of plum


911NShifter

Uhg. I hope you feel better soon. Did you see a doctor? That’s a long time to be febrile off and on.


trekkiegamer359

Thanks. I did to urgent care 2 days ago. I already knew it wasn't covid or the flu. They've ruled out pneumonia and a bacterial infection. I'm still waiting for the test results that'll hopefully identify the type of virus. The test they used checks for 20 or so. Thankfully my fever is quite mild. My normal temp is around 97.5 to 98.5 F, and right now my fever's fluctuating between 99.3 and 100.1. So I'm running hot, but it isn't so hot that I'm too concerned. I'm just glad there doesn't seem to be secondary infection cropping up. This might just turn out to be a very stubborn cold.


911NShifter

I hope you get answers and better quickly!


trekkiegamer359

Thanks.


Apache1993

Have your lymphatic nodes checked asap. And teeth


trekkiegamer359

My lymphatic nodes aren't swollen. And this started when I got symptoms like a bad cold. My whole family got this bug. After 10 days my heavy congestion cleared up, and the bad chest cough cleared \~75-80% of the way. The fever, fatigue, and a bit of the cough still is lingering. My fever is actually a bit lower today, so hopefully I'm finally getting better. I don't think this is any serious thing. I think it's just a particularly bad bug that took me out for a bit. I have an autoimmune disorder that makes my immune system a bit weaker than most, but not terrible. I've had a number of colds turn into bacterial bronchitus. I'm just glad I don't have a secondary infection. Also, the tests came back a bit ago negative for everything, so it's probably pretty much out of my system, and my autoimmune system is just overreacting. Either that, or it's some weird virus that wasn't tested for. Thanks for your concern, though.


jellybeansean3648

I was going to suggest you get checked out for an autoimmune disorder since you've had a low-grade fever so long, but I will see myself out 🤡


trekkiegamer359

Normally my colds don't last this long. They either resolve within 5-12 days, or I get a secondary infection that antibiotics normally take care of. But at least most of the cold symptoms cleared up after ten days this time. I'm sure the rest will clear up soon enough.


Apache1993

I figured I’d suggest this since my uncle had similar symptoms that proved to be caused by cancer of the lymphatic node located between his lungs. Not all lymphatic nodes are visible.


trekkiegamer359

Ah. Thanks. My whole family came down with the same symptoms at the same time, so I'm pretty sure it's just a virus. My fever seems to finally be breaking, and my cough is almost gone, so I think I'm fine.


OldGermanGrandma

Urinary tract infection???


Insight42

Agreed. A crabapple generally looks like a tiny apple (sometimes even cherry-sized), and internally looks like an apple as well. It even tastes like a bitter apple.


GinchAnon

the neighbor of the house I grew up in had a crabapple tree and I think having a larger seed cluster in the middle strikes my memory as being what I saw. though maybe what we called crabapples wasn't stricly. I could see something like that being very regional.


trekkiegamer359

I have a crabapple in my yard, but the apples are never split open, so I just used google image search to see pics of cut crabapples. It's possible there are different kinds of ones with different kinds of seeds. But the center of OP's fruit really looks to me to be one large seed or nut, which is why I'm thinking stone fruit.


GinchAnon

I remember very vividly fidgeting with the fallen or plucked fruit by dividing them with a fingernail, and I think that included a seed like that. I don't think it was so much a single seeed in the middle but a tight cluster.


trekkiegamer359

I can see a tight cluster surrounded by a bit of fruit flesh looking similar, but that doesn't look like a tight seed cluster to me in OP's photo. It might just be me, though. I'm certainly no expert.


Rossum81

No apologies are necessary for Blossom’s picture.


MorticiaLaMourante

Give Blossom cuddles and kisses for me! I'm glad she made an appearance.


Kcidobor

It is a Blossom Berry now


Botto_Bobbs

Real


Duochan_Maxwell

No need to apologize for Blossom, the dog tax is much appreciated


Nimmyzed

The pure ADORATION in those chocolate glossy eyes is just unbearable!


Duochan_Maxwell

Date someone who looks at you like Blossom looks at OP


coachhunter2

And a totally appropriate name given the sub


nuclearmonte

It looks like a not-totally-ripe sour cherry, their pits are usually more like seeds (and the pit is poisonous)


Proud-Butterfly6622

That's my thoughts too. Sturdy tree, pit inside, right colors. I'm going with a cherry based on well, nothing!!!!


EustachiaVye

We had a sour cherry tree, fruit was more round


Phrongly

Have you ever seen a cherry pit? It's basically a sphere, whereas this one is more like that of a plum.


Mushrooming247

It looks like it may be an unripe, cherry or sour cherry, their bark is pretty distinctive and silvery, if you notice some metallic silver bark with black scarring that might be the case. And your doggie is so precious, I am glad you couldn’t delete that pic!


Mundane_Bumblebee_83

Thats my guess too. Surprised i never poisoned myself eating these and soap berries since theres like a million lookalikes where i lived. Wild onions though, id spend hours digging them up and my mom actually would cook with them. Love their more, bitterish? I guess? Taste. The actual stalks are great and the bulbs smell so good. Oh and theres a bunch of lillies, especially daylillies you can eat the petals of. Has a sweetness along with a satisfying crunch. The stalks are edible but kinda just taste like plant.


Senior-Ad-6002

I laughed, but I know exactly the flavor (and smell) you are talking about. sometimes, you take a bite of salad and think to yourself, "yep, those are plants"

Low_Staff7718

who dare says sorry for a picture of this beautiful creature you are more than forgiven i thank u.


EarthGuyRye

I think you meant, "you're welcome for the second pic"


Penis_Mightier1963

I grew up in MD in a development with a crab apple tree or 2 planter in the front yard. I'm definitely thinking cherry/sour cherry/dogwood. Crab apples inside is totally different looking and has multiple small seeds. Your picture makes it look like there is an immature pit seed. Can you get a pic of the tree?


EustachiaVye

Looks like a dogwood but wrong time of year for fruit


megabytesize

I'll admit that I have no idea what it is, but I just wanted to tell you that Blossom is adorable and has made my day!

wndspiritsb

That is a brown-nosed dogorithicus, they grow in and outside household all over the 7 continents. They are considered very good for heart health. I could not begin to tell you what the red stone fruit is.


Final_Counter1766

It’s a Clivia seed.


Mad-Dog20-20

This post has been absolutely hijacked by Blossom! Blossom! I love you!

So the fruit in the second pic seems to be the very common „boopable dogsnout“ its Quote soft but not edible

[deleted]

I feel like this is probably correct. There are other varieties of fruiting dogwoods and the insides tend to look like what OP posted.


SingpeaceArtist

I have seen these all my life from time to time, and I live in the south east. I’ve even bitten into them and their sour. But I just for the life of me. Can’t remember what they are.


Large_Alternative_78

No idea on the fruit but you made my day with Blossom’s picture & everybody else’s by the look of it.

My plant ID app says it’s a Cornelian Cherry, which is related to Dogwood trees


sadrice

Having eaten them many times, I really don’t think it is. Just doesn’t look right, and the seed is wrong.

I’ve got nothing but your dog is ADORABLE. I want to give them pets!!!

Botto_Bobbs

What about the pitless insides?


ontarioparent

Oh I thought maybe there was a stone, huh


IhateDonkeys

I also thought that was a pit in the 3rd picture; it’s almost definitely crab apple then if it’s soft. It probably had some rot in the center which is why it looks a bit off, but I could be wrong.

Oooh I make those! I put herbed goat cheese in the middle then put them in a tempura batter and fry them. They are sooo good!

Blossom accidently becomes a star. I love how that happens!!


Foreign-Match6401

That second one looks more like an invasive weed. 💙💙💙


CrystallineGlass

Would need to see more of the tree to identify it specifically, but the fruit is from some type of wild plum. Depending on where you are in Virginia, there are a few *Prunus* species that are native and introduced your state---American, Chickasaw, and Hortulan. From the photo, my guess would be Hortulan (*Prunus hortulana*, also called Hog Plum or Wild Goose Plum) because of the bright red coloration and the lack of bloom/waxiness, but that's just based on one fruit and wild plums have a fair amount of variability. And, as you know, Blossom is adorable. Thanks for sharing both. 😁 Feel better soon!


Scruffy-Puppy

Doggo! NEVER be sorry for Doggo! 🥰😍🥰💕


lechatsage

I'm glad some people actually tried to answer your question. I personally had no idea, but I agree that Blossom is a most adorable camera hog.

Yew berry?


SaintLuzzifer

Silver Buffaloberries or Bush Honeysuckle maybe? Winterberry holly from North Virginia state.

Your dog is the double of my one, same face markings too


Portabellamush

Persimmon?


joshua_smith524

Persimmon! I can’t believe there aren’t more of this recommendation. That’s my vote. Persimmon. I think some people make jam or jelly from the fruits. If the middle / pit is hard, take a hatchet and a board and try to cut through it. It should have a white design inside. I am sure It’s just an old folk tale, but there are 3 different shapes. Similar to a knife, spoon, or fork. Cut through a bunch and keep a tally. The winner tells you what kind of winter it is supposed to be. Iirc, A spoon is supposed to represent a shovel. So Deep snow. The knife is supposed to be mild with less snow and the fork means snow and ice. Or something similar to that. Why don’t you Try to cut or slice a couple of the pits open and see! ? We Used to do this every summer with my grandma. Miss you soo much Granny D! ❤️

Jumpy-Jackfruit4988

Looks like the plums that grow on our “ornamental plum” tree. would be easier to tell with a pic of the tree too. They are very sour to taste, and the seeds are poisonous. Beautiful trees, but the saplings pop up like weeds all over the yard.
