Hi Fruitnut!, Of course I know that that mystery fruit is not flavor supreme. LOL. Sorry, I just jumped the subject and went on to something else thats all. Fruitnut, I have been reading this garden forum for a few years now. I am a gardener who grows a lot of veggies and fruit and I know from reading GW forum that you happen to be a Master Fruititioner if that is such a word. You really know your stuff! I have seen quite a few of your pics as well and I really would just love to see what your flavor supreme fruit look like this year...I have already decided that my mystery fruit is a plum mistaken for an apricot-end of that story. When you answered my inquiry, I was very honored that you responded. So I am off and on to other subjects. By the way, I want to say thanks to you and all the other gardeners who have taught me many things to incorporate in my knowledge of gardening! Do have a garden stand?

That bark says cherry to me. I see cherries turning red on quite a few neighborhood trees in the Bountiful area, but I also noted freezes during bloom that appear to have impacted other cherry trees. Freezes earlier in the year may have something to do with the lack of fruit. There are a lot of cherry trees in Utah, so unless you are in a new development area, I'd be surprised if there weren't some nearby.

"Walnut or relation" = Juglans species or perhaps even another genus, although first off you should compare yours for instance with J. cinerea, which produces some quite similar leaves and fruits. There are also numerous examples of more than one Asian walnut species on West Coast properties, these are more like butternut than English walnut and the several species of black walnuts. People I've talked with who were occupying sites up here with landmark butternuts or Asian walnuts on them have never known what the trees were, one party came up with the name "white walnut".

Guessing here--the picture is rather small-- but based on your zone I 'd say Arbutus unedo, the Strawberry Tree. Fruits are edible, but rather mealy tasting. Think famine food ;-) Here is a link that might be useful: Strawberry Tree, Arbutus unedo
