Looks like a Lychee but is yellow inside with small seads.

Edible, according to the Wikipedia article.

Thank you, yup it certainly looks like that is what it is.

My mate ate some before we even knew what it was, so he is safe :)

Definitely Cornus kousa. I have one in my garden and eat it when I am
able, as they are delicious.  Unfortunately they have the annoying habit
of all falling off before they ripen most years.

Newsgroups are a great way to discuss topics. In this case, the topis
