The Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo) is shrub to small tree in the blueberry family native to the Mediterranean! “Unum tantum edo“ wrote Pliny the Elder meaning “I only eat one” perhaps because they are bland, or as I like to think, they are so good he only treats himself to one.

The Chilean Wine Palm (Jubaea chilensis) is prized for its sweet sap formerly used to make wine and seeds which look like small coconuts. Darwin described these palms as being ugly trees (compared to other palms) as the trunks were of irregular diameter. #botany #plant #chile
