The strawberry tree is a beautiful small evergreen tree or shrub that can occasionally reach 9 meters tall and 8 meters wide, though it is usually rather smaller. There are several named forms and some of these are no more than 2 - 3 meters tall.

A very easily grown and trouble-free plant with occasionally Plant Yellow Leaves or Yellow Leaf on Plants
, it does best in a nutrient-rich well-drained moisture-retentive soil in sun or semi-shade. It also grows well in heavy clay soils and in dry soils. Most species in this genus require a lime-free soil but this species is fairly lime tolerant. Especially when young, it prefers a fairly sheltered position and dislikes cold drying winds or it will be Plant Yellow Leaves or Yellow Leaf on Plants
. It is, however, surprisingly tolerant of strong winds if they are not from the cold northerly and easterly quarters and can succeed in fairly exposed positions near the coast. This is a very good tree to grow in towns because it tolerates industrial pollution.

The plant is hardy in most parts of Britain and has withstood temperatures down to at least -16°c without injury when grown in suitable conditions, though young plants would usually be killed at temperatures as low as this. Because they resent root disturbance, it is best to plant them out into their final positions as soon as possible. It is probably, therefore, a good idea to give them some protection from the cold for their first winter or two outdoors if the weather is very cold.

The strawberry tree produces masses of beautiful white flowers in November and December. Since the fruit takes 12 months to ripen, the tree carries both mature fruit and flowers at the same time and is then incredibly beautiful. This is a superb plant to grow as a specimen in a lawn, and it also grows very well on the sunny edges of a woodland garden.
We have received a number of queries about this tree, usually asking if the fruit is edible. The answer is yes, though this does need to be qualified. The fruit varies considerably in size, though it averages about 15 - 20mm in diameter. It is a lovely red color and, from a distance, does look a little like strawberry - hence the common name of the plant. The resemblance to strawberries, however, does not apply to the taste. The books say that it is sweet but insipid, and the Latin name 'unedo' means 'I eat one ' and suggests that the fruit is not very palatable. While it does have a somewhat gritty skin, when fully ripe the fruit itself has the texture of a lush tropical fruit and has a delicate pleasant flavor.

For those people with sensitive taste buds, this is a fruit that can be enjoyed when eaten in moderate quantities. Most of us at Plants for a Future who have tried the fruit raw like it, and a few of us actually like it enough to eat in quantity. Some people, however, fully agree with the person who gave the plant its Latin name and will not touch it. The fruit can also be cooked and is used to make delicious and nourishing jams and preserves.

Ripening over a period of several weeks in late autumn and early winter, the fruit is well-mannered enough to fall from the tree when it is fully ripe. It is a good idea to make sure that the fruit has a soft surface to fall on so that it is not damaged by the fall. Short grass is very good for this. If you do not want to wait for the fruit to fall, it can be picked when it is deep red in color and very soft to the touch. It needs to be eaten within 24 hours or it will start to decay. You can also pick the fruit when it is fully colored but still very firm, and will then store for a few days.

The plant is widely available from many nurseries and garden centers. It is also fairly easy to propagate. The best way is from seed - this is best sown on the surface of compost in a greenhouse as soon as it is ripe. If you are unable to obtain the ripe seed, then stored seed should be soaked for 5 - 6 days in warm water before being sown in late winter. Do not allow the compost to become dry. The seed usually germinates well in the middle to late spring. The seedlings are rather small and slow-growing; they are also prone to damp off and so must be kept well-ventilated, preferably in a lightly shaded position. Transplant then into individual pots as soon as they are large enough to handle and grow them on in light shade in a greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions when they are 20 - 30cm tall, the best time for this is in late spring or early summer after the last expected frosts.

It is also possible to propagate from cuttings, and this is the only way of propagating the named varieties. You use mature wood about 15 - 20cm long of the current season's growth, preferably with a heel. Take them in November or December and plant them in a frame, preferably with bottom heat. They are a bit slow to root and you often get a poor percentage take. To improve this, try soaking some chopped willow twigs in cold water for 24 hours and t
