Attaching a photograph of Arbutus unedo, commonly called Strawberry Tree, Apple of Cain, or Cane Apple. Family Ericaceae. Unfortunately, I have only one photograph showing the fruits. Habit photo is untraceable, though I remember to have photographed a few. Place : San Francisco botanical garden, California. Date 23.9.2006
