Arbutus unedo - fruit / flowers

Arbutus unedo (Strawberry Tree) - A very versatile tree that can grow at the beach or in the desert and in any soil or climate type. Grows to 35 feet high with equal spread. The white flowers and edible red strawberry-like fruits appear in the fall through the winter. Trunk and branches shred their bark exposing the red-colored new bark. Drought tolerant, but will take regular watering. Image shows tassel like flowers and strawberry like fruit. Fruit is not edible - not poisonous - just not very tasty.
