Medronho

Posted by Arco-Íris (Leiria, Portugal) on 26 November 2006 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Este arbusto dá uns frutos lindíssimos e deliciosos nesta altura do ano, com os quais também se pode fazer aguardente.
Medronho is a sylvester fruit, you can eat them or you can use it to make an alcoholic drink.

are those lychee's?
love the use of green and red/orange as color contrasts.

the leaves look more in focus than the fruits do, maybe if the fruits were more in focus? or sharper.

The fruit looks like a lychee but it isn't the same. The portuguese name is Medronho, i don't know the english name fro them.

Indeed, nice colours and ... very nice taste as well ! My father makes some excellent jam with that. In french : "arbouse" and the tree "arbousier", in english "starwberry tree" and in latin : "Arbutus unedo L."
