TREE STRAWBERRY

You would be surprised what you can find if you know what your looking for, these are tree strawberry's found right on property. They will make a interesting garnish for El Bizcochos dessert. In Some countries they are used to make jam and liqueurs (such as the Portuguese medronho, a kind of strong brandy). The Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo) is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the heather family, Ericaceae, native to the Mediterranean region and western Europe north to western France and Ireland. Due to its presence in South West Ireland, it is also known as Irish strawberry tree, and Killarney strawberry tree (called 'Caithne' in Irish and Scots Gaelic). Despite its name, the strawberry tree does not produce strawberries.
