Looking for Specific Fruit for an Ancient Beer

Post by theairtry1 »

Hey Guys,

I have been looking for a specific fruit for an ancient Spanish beer for about a year and a half and haven't found any leads on getting some, besides growing the tree itself. The fruit in question is the fruit of the Arbutus Unedo, or the Strawberry Tree. So if any one has any ideas on where to get some of the fruit or happens to know someone with a tree I would love to know!

Thanks

Today is your lucky day. A few weeks ago, I spotted one in a friend's yard and was curious enough about it to look it up. How much are you looking for? They don't appear to have a ton of fruit.

I'll get you some, but a pound will be optimistic. Give me a little over a week
