Irish Strawberry Tree - arbutus canariensis

Comments: -

Summer 2010: This one was a gift from my sister. She picked it cause it sounded interesting (and she knew I didn't already have it!).

The flowers are pretty but it hasn't fruited yet. It does have lovely bright green new growth.

Spring 2011: lots of new growth. Since spring started it has doubled in volume!

Summer 2011: I don't think that it likes all the rain. Getting brown patches on the inside of a lit of the folliage. Fingers crossed the weather warms up soon.

Summer 2012: The browning has stopped but the growing tips were all getting droopy. I decided not to cut them off just in case and it paid off cause there was nothing wrong with them - they were flowering!!!

Planted: 2010

Growing: In a Pot

Qty: 1

Water Given in: Spring

Pollination: No

Fertiliser or Organics Used: Dynamic Lifter, Seasol, Charlie Carp, worm juice (in rotation)

Pest Control: Ants seem to be farming some sort of GINORMOUS fat black bloated scale things on the hardened off branches (just where the leaves come out). I picked as many off as I could and then sprayed it with pest oil.

An acid-free amazingly sweet variety of strawberries. 

September 2009:  Some flowering activity observed. Visible baby strawberries struggling to get through.

October 2009 to March 2010:  Still producing lots of lovely acid-free sweet strawberries;  definitely the best tasting strawberries I have eaten.  My grandson Thoren seems to think so too.

Wild Strawberry (Cutting) ^9/10

Comments: - Not sure what cultivar of strawberry this is. Small leaves are a much lighter green than most of the varieties I usually see. Also much hardier than others; being the only variety out of about 7 that has thrived at home. Been growing it for a couple of seasons now and have had enough runners to propagate more plants, but have yet to do so. Strawberries are small (1-2cm max) but are the most flavoursome strawberries I have ever tasted. berries can be coloured from orange to crimson and are very soft. Fruit spoil quickly, so best eaten straight from the plant. Likes water, but can go dry for a while. Flowers are white, never pink.
