Strawberry Trees [Cudrania tricuspidata]

1

The Chinese Strawberry grows on a tree and matures in late Summer into berries that closely resemble the strawberry fruit that we all know. The Strawberry Tree is rare in the U.S. but an excellent tree to buy to complete your home orchard.

The flavor is very difficult to describe of the strawberry tree fruit, but generally our customers describe it as a combination of tastes between a mulberry, a strawberry, and a cantaloupe.

It remains a mystery as to where and when this exotic strawberry tree was introduced into the United States, but it is clear that a great future awaits this Chinese import. The berries are literally produced by the bushel on a mature 15 year old tree.

The rich green leaves of the strawberry tree are good shade during summer and the thorny limbs protect wildlife birds and their nests and songbirds too. As the fruit begins to ripen on the strawberry tree, the tree is covered with red berries and dark green leaves, making it an excellent ornamental landscape choice.

Once established the strawberry tree is reliable and bears heavier and heavier loads of berries as the tree increases in size. This tree transplants successfully and easily. We practically never have to send a customer a free replacement for a strawberry tree that has failed.

The size of the strawberry tree can exceed 40 feet, and the strawberry fruit can approach the size of the strawberry that you buy in the grocery.

The fruit gets larger as the strawberry tree grows in size year after year. Insects or disease are unknown on the tree; and for some strange reason, the fruit is not bothered by insects. The leaf production is dense and insect and disease-proof, and sticks tightly to the tree until the first frost, when leaves turn bright yellow in color before falling to the ground.

Wildlife animals and birds love the berries from the strawberry tree, despite the thorns that can discourage the most avid gardener. The thorns do disappear from the strawberry tree as the tree matures and the bark replaces the thorns.

The strawberry tree is very easy to grow and can withstand drought or extreme cold. Strawberry trees also thrive on the coast of the United States and is salt water tolerant. The berries are easy to pick and grow in thick dense clusters with bright shiny leaves. A unique characteristic of the strawberry is that young trees are covered with sharp thorns, but these thorns disappear as the tree ages and the bark becomes woody.

Arbequina


Try planting nursery grown, grafted olive trees that can bear fresh olives the first year for table eating quality. In Northern states the olive trees can be containerized and grown near an entrance or planted in pots near the pool for that tropical flair, and in Winter just move your olive trees indoors and eat tasty olives all Winter. The olive oil produced from pressing Arbequina olives is of a high quality and a fruity musky flavor but rather unstable with a short shelf life in some cases.
