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)
To confuse even more the plant Muntingia calabura is also called Strawberry Tree, see Tropical Treasures Magazine, Winter 2009 ISSN 1936-1378 JOEY57 ( talk) 09:35, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

There is a Strawberry Plant growing in File:Crystal Palace Park, South London. It's between the burned out children's toilets & the Lower Lake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acb58 ( talk • contribs) 06:07, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
I removed the section about this painting on the grounds that the cited reference (Warner, Marion. Fantastic metamorphoses, other worlds: ways of telling the self. Oxford University Press, 2002. 70.) states that the painting does not represent the Madroño. The deletion was reverted by other editors. Here is a retyping of the section of the cited reference, which I would say states quite clearly that the painting shows giant strawberries, and that it was a strange mistake to say that it shows the Madroño.
Page 70. "And it is Sigüenza who makes the earliest reference to the Garden of Earthly Delights, in a letter consigning the painting to the Escorial of 8 July 1593, in which he calls it 'La Pintura del Madroño' (The Painting of the Strawberry [Tree]). With this designation, Sigüenza is specifying arbutus, the tree or shrub common in the Mediterranean which mimics the soft fruit, and which features, alongside the wild edible variety, in Ovid's paean to the Golden Age (see above).71 It is revealing that Sigüenza referred to the painting in this way, because either it shows that he was following reports on its contents and writing about it before he had seen it, since as a Spaniard, he could not have mistaken Bosch's giant strawberries on which his revellers are feasting for the unpalatable arubutus; or the wording demonstrates the pervasive aesthetic preference for textual over visual reference, and his understanding of the painting as an interpretation of the famous Ovidian passage on the Golden Age." This is followed by more discussion of alternate realities.

( edit conflict) And why not reflect the doubt in the actual article. "Person X suggests Y is true and person Y doubts it" - I love the idea of transmitting the doubt/uncertainty to the general reader and letting the reader digest it themselves. Or have I muffed this?

This is because of the alcohol content of the ripe fruit. Children and women, who did not drink alcohol, got headaches eating the fruit. Use: also in the old days in Spain for vinegar, in France for liqueur. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.212.84.2 ( talk) 20:37, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
In the textbox, a photo of a tree is captioned "Arbutus unedo: habit". I changed this to "habitat", but user:Peter coxhead reverted it, with this explanation: "no, the image shows the habit ('habitus') of the tree". I appreciate him stating that what is being depicted is not the tree's habitat, but it's "habitus". However, the word "habit" has a very well-attested definition in the OED, and it is not as a synonym for "habitus". If "habitus" is meant, then that word should be used, instead of confusing readers for whom "habit" means "an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary; customary practice or use; a particular practice, custom, or usage; a dominant or regular disposition or tendency; or prevailing character or quality". It is always best to avoid jargon. Bricology ( talk) 09:22, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello @ Ihaveacatonmydesk: I think these are better “bunched”. I don’t think I made these but I do this frequently. These references are only used together so separating them is unnecessary. Invasive Spices ( talk) 20:25, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
I have never done this in an article, I am afraid I might mess it up. But there are sources for this, and I love this fruit, I think it's worth having its nutrional value on wikipedia. It has almost 3.5 times the vitamin C of oranges for example, it's great! 613 The Evil ( talk) 23:45, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
