  • Question

    This is a pic of the berries.

    Answer

    Dear Ravensdotter, thank you for getting images of the fruits. You likely have Swida stolonifera (synonym: Cornus sericea; red-osier dogwood). It will have bright red branches in the fall and winter season. If you were to cut one of the branches open, you should see white pith on the interior of the branch (if this were another common species--Swida amomum--it would have brown pith). Best wishes.
