Round fruit (arbutus-berry) fleshy, in granular, red surface. It is edible. It matures next winter. It is one of the rare trees to carry fruits in winter.
Use: the fruit of the Arbutus is edible. It is possible to eat it freshly (but it contains many small seeds) or in jam, in jelly, in stewed fruit, or to distil it to make an alcoholic beverage. The arbutus is also a nice decorative garden tree, planted isolated or in hedge, which gladdens the garden because its fruits persist in winter.
