The pendulous clusters of urn-shaped white blushed pink flowers are produced year-round along the coast with peaks in spring and fall. The fruit that follows also appears heaviest in
spring and fall in such a manner that the younger yellow fruit are visible while mature red fruit is still on the tree. This adds further to the decorative qualities of this tree as it
almost appears as though the tree has christmas decorations upon it. The fruit is also edible with a flavor likened to a mixture of kiwi fruit and strawberry but as with the fruit of the
common strawberry tree, Arbutus unedo, the texture is gritty. |
