[edit] Explanation of Name?

It seems to me that, given the total lack of any similarity whatsoever between this plant and the common strawberry, that at least an explanation of the common name is called for. Does anyone know? Unschool 06:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

The fruit when ripe superficially resembles a strawberry (round and red). This is mentioned on the Arbutus genus page, not sure if its worth repeating here. Bumper12 03:54, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
