The power of plants

In Antiquity, the strawberry tree was associated with immortality, while more recently, some have described it as a “miracle tree”. However, nothing about this rather banal-looking bushy shrub from the Mediterranean would seem to justify this reputation. That is until you consider its many unique botanical features that could be regarded as a little “supernatural”: the strawberry tree can ripen its fruits in winter and recolonize land ravaged by fire and even fight severe infections. Another unique feature is its small, round berries covered in tiny conical bumps, known as strawberry tree fruit.
