Pictures of Flowers Arbutus Pictures and Arbutus Kind

Arbutus is a genus of flowering plants native to warm temperate regions of the Mediterranean, Western Europe and North America. Due to the superficial resemblance of fruits to Strawberry, European species are generally known as Strawberry Trees. Arbutus is one of the loveliest spring flowers. In Massachusetts, Arbutus is the state flower and often known as Mayflower. Several evergreen plants ranging in size from the tiniest plant to a tall tree are known by the name Arbutus, trailing Arbutus being the most common species.

With its fragrant clusters of waxy white blossoms often tinged with pink, Arbutus is considered as the most attractive wild flowers in North America. Arbutus grows best in sandy or rocky soils especially in pinewoods, where it creeps along the ground almost hidden beneath dry needles and leaves. In Vancouver islands, Arbutus bark and leaves are often used to crate medicines for cold, stomach problems, tuberculosis and as the basis for contraceptives. Although the fruits of Arbutus are edible but it is rarely eaten, as it has minimal flavor. Besides, Arbutus is a great fuelwood because it burns hot and long.
