Unusual Arbutus unedo or something else from California-GS28042023-1

[Gurcharan Singh]

This year I photographed this tree from Fremont, California, which has leaves and fruits of Arbutus unedo (I have uploaded on our group earlier https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/5KxeScAr8lU) but this tree differs in flowers which are hanging in dense bunches and corolla lobes are free nearly upto base, not typical urceolate (urn-shaped with narrowed top, slightly notched at tip). Any clue about this unusual tree.

Forwarding again for Id assistance please.

Yes, it looks different from Arbutus unedo. 

I tried but could not find any match.

There are several Arbutus native to southern USA and Mexico.  I think they all have urceolate flowers rather like A. unedo.  This may be an odd floral mutant.

Garg ji I made a repeat visit to the tree. Most of the flowers had fallen, a few left were returning normal urceolate condition. I could also capture flower and fruits together. We can forget it as aberration. 

[Gurcharan Singh]

One more with almost urceolate flower.
