No its not a strawberry tree, they are approx the size of a small
marble 1cm dia and round. This is about 2.5cm or larger, but is more
squashed.

Antony NT. Torpoint, Cornwall
Growing around the outer wall

Going from the leaves I thougt Magnolia, but googling 'magnolia seed'
images. They were nothing like it.


Where was it growing? Location might make a difference to size, perhaps.

Try Cornus kousa or one of its allies, such as Cornus nuttallii or
Cornus capitata.
