Chris,
Those Strawberry trees, are they the Jamaican Strawberry trees that have fruits that starts out green then yellow than red globular, around 3/8" diameter? Scientific name - Muntingia Calabura? I miss that fruit. That tree is almost a pest tree in the Philippines because it grows profusely. There is no commercial value there because the fruits ripen fast once picked. The fruit is super sweet like fig with really tiny seeds. The leaves have medicinal value and dried to make a great tea.
Not to be off topic, just to let you know that the two smaller Dwarf Brazilians that you sent me are the only one, from the generous shipment you sent me last yea, to survive the Winter. The giant DB corm didn't even sprout.
I have one of them in my temporary home in Richland, WA, but I think that I will bring the other one there as well just to be safe. I did have them in my greenhouse all year, but the lack of sunshine is what I think that is really hurting them. I will post pictures soon.
Those are awesome pictures you posted! Thanks.
