I discovered these trees in Greece when I lived there as a child. In French they're called "arbousier" & I remember tasting the fruit. So cool that you're Swiss German! We lived north of Basel in Alsace (France) for 11 years & I was told that Alsatian is very similar to Swiss German.
So cool. In Greece I only saw the strawberry tree butterfly, but there obviously have to be strawberry trees. And I did not know ‚arbousier‘ was the French word for it. Thanks for adding it to my vocabulary 🤩. I was in the Alsace only once and remember to have spoken French there. But it may well be that Alsatian has similarities with Swiss German. Where do you live now, if I may ask? Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment so kindly 🫶🏼.
Liebe Lorraine, every post from me comes in two languages, in case you would like to practice your German a little more 😊. Thank you so much for appreciating the bilingual effort. It means a lot to me 🥺.
I most definitely will enjoy doing that! My children speak much better German than me, because they went to school in Alsace where German is taught a lot.
Was habe ich geschmunzelt und vor allem erneut gestaunt bei der Lektüre dieses Rendezvous.
Ich habe noch nie von einem Erdbeerbaum gehört und somit auch noch überhaupt nie einen solchen gesehen. Wow! Wie faszinierend ist das denn?
Dass Blüten und Früchte gleichzeitig am Baum zu sehen sind ist ja wirklich ein umwerfendes Spektakel. Duften denn diese Blüten auch?
Vielen Dank fürs Teilen dieses Wunders und Deine ansteckende Begeisterung. Ich habe wieder ganz viel Interessantes und Zauberschönes gelernt… und mich auch köstlich amüsiert über die beschwipsten Erdbeerbaumfalter. Hihihi! Was es alles gibt!
Oh my goodness!!!! So cool, I have never heard of the strawberry tree. That is amazing that it takes an entire year for the fruit to ripen. What an amazing experience. We have strawberries and a wild blackberry bush at my house, but I think I’d like a strawberry tree by the sea! Thank you so much for sharing this experience!
Awww, so grateful you appreciate my sharing of this wonderful Mediterranean tree. And how cool you have your own strawberries and wild blackberries in the garden. Hope you can pick some already.

Now I live in the Loire Valley, still in France. I discovered your post thanks to Beth Kempton. 🙂❤️
Delighted to find yet another multilingual post! Mit freundlichen grüssen (abba mein Deutsch nicht so gut ist)

I've been thinking about publishing my posts in 2 languages as well, English and French. You've inspired me to actually do that. 🙂

„Äbeeriboum!“ 😄

They are ripening up, I have a handful freshly picked. Thank you very much for writing about your travels and discoveries.
It is my pleasure and I have so many stories up my sleeve 🤩. Enjoy those berries 😋.
