And finally, this is the last one. This shrub is probably now 6-7ft tall and has a very rounded shape. The flowers are white, but I can't remember when they appear.
Strawberry tree.....arancus I think it is called
yes it could well be a Strawberry tree - arbutus unedo - flowers and fruits at the same time, about now
Mum has had one in her garden for years and hers is exactly like that. ;D
I've had a look at some photo's on the web, and the one in the garden has never had any of those red fruit on it.
From looking through my book last night I was wondering whether it might be a Pieris, going more on the flowers than anything else.
Look hard at the photo, there is a fruit just starting.
Mums only occassionally gets fruit. I am certain that is what it is. ;D
OK. I must admit on reading up, the flowering time of the Aruncus fits in better than for a Pieris. I'm pretty sure it doesn't flower in the Spring. I shall keep an eye on it and see what develops.
