About the species
The Chinese strawberry trees Cudrania tricuspidata are unique fruit trees known for their striking red-orange fruits with a sweet, aromatic flavor. The trees grow best in a sunny, sheltered location in well-drained soil and, once established, are low-maintenance and highly drought-tolerant.
In the spring, Chinese strawberry trees bloom with small greenish-yellow flowers that attract bees and other pollinators. The female cultivar ‘Chorter,’ which has a compact growth habit, develops the striking red-orange fruits after pollination, while ‘Male Hu’ acts as the male pollinator, providing the pollen. The trees grow best in a sunny, sheltered location and are a special addition to any edible garden.
