Arbutus unedo/strawberry tree perhaps ?

I agree with Shirley tulip. It is the strawberry tree. I have one in my garden so does my son in his.

I agree. we used to have a large one at work.

Thankyou all so much, I had never seen it before, but its going on my wish list now for next year.....

If you can find it, go for the named clone 'Atlantic' as this flowers and fruits quicker as a young plant.

Useful plant, as it's probably the only member of the ericaceous plants that tolerates chalky soils. Phil

I was going to add that point too :)

Thanks both for the information.....

Milky, we have just had some plants of Arbutus unedo 'Atlantic' come in today at work......your post reacquainted me with this delightful plant so I have bought one! Thanks :)

Oh nice one Fractal......They are lovely......

Hello Milky, I am a very new membe who has just started using a computer after many years and I am enjoying it lot's, as i am sure I will enjoy this great site and meeting people like you. I would like to ask you if I should prune a clematis and when. This one is spring flowering and has a very beautiful pure flower which lasts only a short time. Also it is in a 16inch pot. Do you think the pot is suitable? I hope I am not too much trouble. bredakelly

Sorry I omitted to say the flower is white bredakelly

Hi Maureen, I asked you once if you could identify a Clematis ( Without a photo , which was daft ) which I had growing in a 16" pot and was rather sickly. Well I have removed it from the pot and planted it in the earth and it is looking great so I am now waiting eagerly for next spring. I do so hope it gives a good show as the flower is sooooo lovely. Hope all is going well for you in all aspects of your life. Take care.

Breda. Xx
