    This was found growing in a tree similar to a cherry but with thicker leaves
    it LOOKS like a cherry, has a pit, has peach-like flesh and smell.

    Skin is broken up into hexagons. was found in naramata

    Wife is dying to know what they are and if we can eat them, I'm stumped :P

    Cornus kousa. Yes, edible (and quite nice).
