I was going back through some old photographs and I found this photograph of a tree that used to grow in the garden of our house in France. It’s called an arbutus and I always loved it, as it has strawberry-like fruits and white blossoms on it at the same time. This image was taken on a sunny November day. I bought one for my garden here in Dorset and it is struggling to survive but hanging on in there. One day maybe it will look like this…
Do the fruits just look like strawberries or do they taste that way too? So pretty!
I actually think they look more like lychees, they have a sort of hard shell but they are also called strawberry trees according to Wikipedia

Apparently they are edible but I’ve never tried one…
Oh wow! that is incredibly pretty isn’t it! What a gorgeous photo. 🙂
