"o verde albero italico, il tuo maggioè nella bruma: s'anche tutto muora,tu il giovanile gonfalon selvaggiospieghi alla bora"Giovanni Pascoli
strawberry tree, arbutus unedo, corbezzolo. this tree colors the autumn with its bright red berries. as the Pascoli's poem i quoted says, its May is in the mist.
we greeted November harvesting juicy sweetness. we have a big strawberry tree in the garden, now dotted in red. my grandma says it is a symbol of warm welcoming, and that's why it has been planted near the entrance gate.
