The strawberry tree is a thermophilic species typical of the Mediterranean scrub that extends from the coast up to 800 m above sea level. Not a very rustic species, it only tolerates short frosts down to -6°-8° C. This species sometimes forms more or less pure formations or more often in association with other thermophilic Mediterranean shrubs or trees, such as myrtle, buckthorn, holm oak, mastic tree and cork tree. . It adapts to all types of soil because it is well drained, even rocky and not very fertile ones, but it prefers loose acidic soils such as siliceous, volcanic or granitic substrates. Very ornamental species due to the beauty of the foliage and fruits in autumn. To be grown in parks or gardens for hedges or bushes. It can also be grown on terraces and balconies in large pots.
