Pecole Posted November 17, 2018 Share #1  Posted November 17, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Snapped yesterday when walking near our house. In Portugal, the arbutus is called "medronheira" and the fruit "medronho", but here, this last word rather evokes a very strong alcohol made with the fruit. When I looked for translation in English in the Cassel's, I discovered that the arbutus was mainly ornamental...on one side of the Channel at least. Question of culture, probably, and possibly another explanation for the Brexit… Welcome, dear visitor!

david strachan Posted November 21, 2018 Share #3  Posted November 21, 2018 Lovely Pecole. We had one of those trees, known as Irish Strawberry Tree in Australia. The fruit is floury and pretty flavourless.  Beaut picture...nice colours and included flowers.  ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons I took the picture was precisely that it included the flowers. Flavourless, the fruit, I agree : but have you also in Australia the very strong alcohol derived from it, that we call here in Portugal "medronho"? It is full of flavour, I can guarantee! To your good health (even if the "medronho" does nor really help...). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
