Here in our small Wilts town an Arbutus unedo has been growing in the local
cemetery for decades. It is an unusual tree in that it has fruits and
flowers on it at the same time, and although it has a lot of fruits they
don't taste very interesting. Must be the climate.

Perhaps. They have a reputation of being not very interesting, even
in better climates.

Having fruits and flowers at the same time is widespread in species
from warmer climates - it's common in tropical and subtropical ones,
like citrus.
