My wife's birthday is coming up and I want to try something that lasts
longer than, say, flowers. I'm wondering if I can find and plant a tree in
northern california that she saw on our honeymoon in panarea (italy).

The tree she seems to like is "strawberry tree". Looking it up, it's an
"arbutus unedo", also knowns as a Ericacaea.

My problem is that I don't know if it will grow in northern california (San
Francisco area) and more importantly HOW to mail order a shrub. Can mail
order of shrubs be done?

Do you do that or know what a good nursery is for this type of edible bush?

Wikipedia describes it as a Mediterranean native, so I would think
most of the San Francisco area would be fine. But I have no
experience growing it.

Looking online, I see several places selling seeds. Someone should
sell plants. A nursery/garden center might be able to order one
for you. They will have access to sellers that don't do retail.
