strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo)

Description

The strawberry tree, scientifically known as Arbutus unedo, is a small evergreen tree or shrub native to the Mediterranean region and parts of western Europe. It produces clusters of small, white to pink flowers in the fall, which eventually give way to bright red, strawberry-like fruits. These fruits are edible and have a sweet, unique flavor, though they are often considered more ornamental than culinary.
