Arbutus Unedo

Perfect photo! I really must do some work on my camera. None of my photos are this good :)

Agree, & I've always liked this tree.

Thanks Karen, that's kind of you to say, but, this was taken with my phone! thank you Feverfew, love this tree!

Lol? Phone cameras are good arent they! You must have a steady hand too. :)

Hi

Are the fruits edible ? a huge tree in the park by my office smoothed in fruit

Gg

Karen it has an anti-shake built in the app....
GG they are edible, can be used for cakes, and liqueur the word unedo, attributed to Pliny the elder (allegedly) translates to I eat only one!! one was good enough? or one was quite enough? I have tried them, not inspiring, better used for the liqueur!!

What I like about this variety you have is the bright yellow of the fruit as they ripen. On my pink vars the fruits dont have that. They are a more insipid colour until fully ripe. I might have to get a white flowering one as well!

That's true Karen, a tree well worth having in any garden, small or large..

I went to buy one from Ornamental Trees. The had it priced under £40 for a 10L pot ..decent sized plant. Then when I went to pay for it, they wanted 25 for delivery! But I’ll probably get one in a local nursery.

Oh my goodness that's a bit steep!

Certainly is. But I dont want a teeny one so I’ll have a bit of a shopping trip.
