Question
And I am probably cheating again, as this is surely an ornamental dogwood. It grows outside the post office in Dublin, NH. These photos were taken in the fall.
Answer
Dear David, this fruit cluster belong to Benthamidia japonica (Kousa big-bracted-dogwood, often named as Cornus kousa in the literature). It is related to our native Benthamidia florida (flowerering big-bracted-dogwood), but with a different fruit (as you have photographed well).
