Site: Walthamstow Strawberry tree (1 memorial)
E17, Forest Road, 458, Ross Wyld Care Home
Our best guess is that the strawberry tree is the small one in the middle.
The Strawberry tree, Arbutus Unedo is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the family Ericaceae, native to the Mediterranean region and western Europe and Ireland. In Ireland it is known as either 'Irish strawberry tree', or cain or cane apple. The fruit does look remarkably like strawberries.
This seems a very odd location for a tree and a plaque to "celebrate local high streets".
