Arbutus unedo, commonly known as the strawberry tree, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to the Mediterranean region. It typically grows to a height of 5 to 10 meters and features glossy, dark green leaves. The tree is notable for its unique, round, red or yellow fruits that resemble strawberries, which are edible but often considered bland in flavor. The flowers of Arbutus unedo are bell-shaped and white or pink, blooming in clusters during the fall. This species thrives in well-drained soils and is often used in landscaping for its ornamental value. It is also valued for its ability to attract wildlife, including birds and pollinators.
