We removed our giant mulberry tree about 8 years ago. It's roots were growing above ground and it was beginning to push the sidewalk up by the house. When we replaced it, we got a strawberry tree. Never heard of one? Neither had we! A friend who was a landscaper recommended it. It has been a very slow growing, not very shady tree. If I was to do it over again, I would likely choose a different tree. Something with a little shade.
That's being said, in the fall it fills with blossoms and little red "fruit" that look like strawberries. This year it has been FULL of buzzing bees
and BUTTERFLIES!!
You walk by the tree and a dozens of butterflies will fly out.
Luckily butterflies are harmless, but it is quite alarming!
Pretty awesome!!
