Arbutus

Arbutus (Arbutus unedo, Ericaceae)

English: arbutus, strawberry tree

Ibicencan: arbocer

French: arbre à fraises, arbousier

Swedish: smultronträd

German: Erdbeerbaum

Dutch: aardbeiboom

This tree is a native to the Mediterranean mac­chia. The fruits ripen one year after the flowering, so they are on the trees together with the new flowers.

The fruits are edible but they can ferment on the trees. The leaves and the bark are used in teas against inflammations of the urinary system and against diarrhaea.
