It is cultivated as fruit tree and for technical uses in many European Mediterranean countries, also in south Switzerland and south Tyrol, in the Crimea and in the western Caucasus. 2 The story goes, that when the Spanish explorers landed in California, they recognized our native (Ireland) madrone (naming it madroño) as being related to their madroño or Arbutus unedo which is common throughout the greater Mediterranean basin from: Albania to Croatia, Lebanon to Sardinia, Portugal to Tunisia—even the Canary Islands...and in Ireland. 7 Description Strawberry tree spreads quite wide as it grows taller and produces dense shade, making it ideal for use as a small shade, screen, hedge, or patio tree. The appearance of both fruits and flowers during the winter months also makes this plant very popular for specimen plantings. It is one of the most attractive small trees available for residential use but unfortunately is not normally available in the east. 1 In fall and winter, the small, white or pink blooms in two-inch-long panicles appear at the same time the previous year's fruit are ripening (Fig. 20). These unusual fruits have a rough, pebbled outer surface that ripens from yellow to red and persist on the tree throughout the winter, adding much to the tree's overall attractiveness. 1 Older specimens are especially attractive with their shredding gray-brown bark and twisted, gnarled trunks (Fig. 36,38). 4 Leaves Leaves are 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) by 0.8- 1.25 inches (2-3.1 cm) glossy green with serrated margins and red stems (Fig. 7). The tip is acute, base wedge-shaped (cuneate), undersides paler and glabrous. 11
Flowers Flowers are perfect, fragrant and appear in 10-30 flowered drooping racemes. The 5 creamy-white petals are joined nearly their full length to form an urn, inside which are 10 stamens and a 5 locular ovary. 5 Strawberry tree's urn-shaped flowers resemble those of another member of the Ericaceae family, the blueberry (Vaccinium ashei). 4
Fig. 13. Detail of the ovary with the furrowed style; there are remains of the chalice (the corolla has been removed) Fig. 14. Detail of stamens Pollination Pollination is by bees which are strongly attracted to the flowers. 5 Fruit The orange- shaped fruit ripen the year following flowering. Fruit are orange-red, almost fluorescent, and will definitely turn heads. 3 The fruit has a vague anise odor but tastes more like tangy rose hips—which it's related to. Edible prickly red armor on the outside and a creamy-mealy amber flesh, it's a superfruit (like acai) loaded with vitamin C and pectin. The fruits are high in sugar and contain bioflavonoids, malic acid as well as tannin. 7 Berries will ferment right on the tree (berries have been measured up to 24.6° Brix, or 5 to 14% alcohol—and no liquor license needed); the birds get inebriated as they gobble up the beer-berries. 7
Fig. 28. Fruits of strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo), National Park of Monfragüe, Spain Fig. 29. Strawberry tree (A. unedo) fruit, Valcrose, Aniane, Hérault, France Varieties The cultivar 'Compacta' is a smaller shrub, with contorted, picturesque, branching and 5 by 5 ft (1.5 by 1.5 m) tall; 'Elfin King' flowers and fruits year-round, grows to 5 to 10 ft (1.5x3 m); 'Rubra' produces red-budded, dark pink flowers. 3 A. unedo f. rubra, which has earned The Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. 14 Harvesting The creamy-white, bell-shaped flowers, often tinged with pink, are intermixed with the orange-scarlet rough fruit (Fig. 20), which owing to the length of time it takes to ripen, remains on the tree for twelve months, not maturing until the autumn succeeding that in which the flower is produced. 6 Fruit take about 12 months to mature so you can have both fruit and the current season's flowers on the tree at one time. Normal harvest time is late Autumn/Winter. Only fully coloured fruit should be picked over an extended season. They do not store or transport well. 5 Propagation Propagation is by seed or layering. 1 Seeds need stratification at 39-41 °F (4-5 °C) for 3 months before sowing. 5 Strawberry tree is propagated by seeds, which germinate readily, and by cuttings of half-ripe wood taken in summer or autumn. 4 Planting It is a sub-tropical species adapted to long hot dry summers and wet winters; nevertheless it can grow in the wet summers of western Ireland. 5 Requires a nutrient-rich well-drained moisture-retentive soil in sun or semi-shade and shelter from cold drying winds, especially when young. Most species in this genus require a lime-free soil but this species is fairly lime tolerant. It is also tolerant of industrial pollution. 13 Pruning In general, A. unedo tolerates pruning when branches are young to help keep in bounds, and can make an attractive informal hedge. 14 Food Uses Fruit flavour for seedling-grown plants is often bland and they are consequently processed, but the better varieties are enjoyable as is. Best flavour is attained when totally ripe, with reduction in tannins and increases in sugars. If you plant one for eating fresh, try and ensure it is a graft or a cutting from a plant you know produces tasty fruit. 5 You can also make marmelades, jams, jellies, pies, dried fruit, vinegars, pomaces, sorbets, and a grilled meat sauce (like cranberry, or quince sauce), from arbutus berries. You can plop those overripe berries into a bottle of red wine to make a killer sangria. 7 Apparently the fruits’ high pectin and natural sugar content make it as ideal for cooking as other fruits which are used more commonly. 14 In Portugal, strawberry tree fruits are fermented to make a strong tasting wine known as medronho or medronheira (Fig. 42), tsipuoro in Greece, Fior de Corbezzolo in Sicily, Creme d'Arbouse in Corsica among others. 8
Fig. 30. A.unedo crumble cake Medicinal Properties ** The tree is little used in herbalism but deserves modern investigation. All parts of the plant contain ethyl gallate, a substance that possesses strong antibiotic activity against the Mycobacterium bacteria. The leaves, bark and root are astringent and diuretic. They are also a renal antiseptic and so used in the treatment of infections of the urinary system such as cystitis and urethritis. It is used in the treatment of diarrhea and dysentery and, a gargle can be made for treating sore and irritated throats. The flowers are weakly diaphoretic. 8 Other Uses Source of the famous miele di corbezzolo of Sardinia, a rare chestnut-colored honey that is highly esteemed for its pungent, spicy flavor featuring overtones of peppery mint or menthol. 14 In the neighbourhood of Algiers it forms hedges, and in Greece and Spain the bark has been used for tanning. The wood of the tree makes good charcoal. 6 The wood is used in Greece to make flutes. 8 The bark which contains 45% tannin has been used in tanning leather. Tannin can also be obtained from the leaves and fruit. 8 General Avoid using near pool and patio as heavy fruit set can make a mess on a walkway or patio (this isn't a problem for the 'Elfin King' cultivar which fruits only sparingly). 4 Madrid is madroño central (madroño being the Spanish for both fruit and tree). The city’s coat of arms, dating from the middle ages, features a bear on its hind legs reaching up to pick madroños from a tree and you can find this motif everywhere in the city, from manhole covers to dustbins to signs outside official buildings to taxis. Even the football club, Atlético Madrid, features the bear and strawberry tree. 12 Arbutus (arb-YEW-tus) means struggle. Unedo (YOU-nee-doe) means “I eat only one” from the Latin unum edo. That can be read two ways: It is so good I only eat one, or it is rather it is uninteresting thus I only eat one. We got that in 50 AD from Pliny the Elder (23 AD – August 25, 79), and we don’t know which he meant. Mensiesii honors the discoverer, Archibald Menzies (1754-1842), a Scottish physician and naturalist. 10 Strawberry tree is recommended by the California Invasive Plant Council as a suggested landscape substitute for often-used invasive species like Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius). 4
