This tree with a reddish bark has naturalised itself in many places on the Great Orme where it thrives. The fruit, when just ripe, look like strawberries hanging from the twigs. Apart from its "strawberries" this tree has a distinctive red bark. It is native in Ireland and probably "escaped" or bird-sown in Great Britain.
