Wonder Tree

I have been admiring this tree right outside the bank, so recently I stopped to take a picture of it with my phonecam. I love the color and the texture of the fruit. But I don't know what kind of tree this is, and no one else seems to know either. I suppose it is a wonder tree. . . .
How are you Randi?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Manuela Oliveira, portuguese and it seems that I love some things you like: Portugal, Lisbon, Galaecia, photos and Nature. My garden is my hobby.
That "Wonder Tree" is a "MEDRONHEIRO" - Arbutus unedo - and the fruit - medronho.
See http://bocasmacao.blogs.sapo.pt/arquivo/2006_11.html
and you´ll understand a lot about MEDRONHEIROS.

I live at Brasil but my roots are from Trás-os-Montes, near Galicia. Braga is not far from.
Excuse my english.
Sincerely yours, Manuela
