Did someone say strawberries 🍓
The Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo) is an evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean Basin and Western Europe. Despite its name, the plant is not closely related to the strawberries commonly eaten in the U.S.. The Strawberry Tree belongs to the Ericaceae family, same as cranberries and blueberries. The berries of the plant are edible, often being used in jams, liqueurs, and honey.
Explore edible and medicinal plants from all over the world at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Plan your visit at the link in bio.

It doesn`t quite feel like winter at Boyce Thompson Arboretum.
The warmer temperatures and rain this winter season have tricked some of our spring blooms into showing up early this year. A reminder that plants don`t follow the calendar.

Chiricahua Leopard Frogs (Lithobates chiricahuensis) spotted at Ayer Lake.
The Chiricahua Leopard Frog gets its name from the spotted pattern on it back. Native to Arizona and New Mexico, these frogs are found in or near permanent and semi-permanent water sources.
Due to habitat loss, the Chiricahua Leopard Frog is endangered. Water sources like Ayer Lake and our Queen Creek Riparian area are important water sources that give this frog and other native species a home.
