Full Description

The creamy/pink heather like flowers appear in autumn followed by plump scarlet red fruits that do indeed look like strawberries but unfortunately do not taste like them. The fruit fully ripen in the following year when a new set of flowers emerge.

The rusty brown bark of the strawberry tree begins to peel during the spring to reveal new bright green bark tissue that remains smooth and ornamental until the next season.

Strawberry trees will tolerate most soil types but thrives best in mild areas.
