These are the fruit -- start out yellow, turning to red when ripe. So usually three colors on a tree (yellow, a nice orange color, and bright red). The flowers are tiny little bell-shaped clusters. I tried to get some pictures of those, but it was too windy to get any in focus.
Apparently they are edible and good for jams. Haven't tried that, though.
Oh, just found on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry_Tree) that you can also make a liqueur! And, a she-bear and strawberry tree are the symbol of Madrid. Who knew?

Looks like lychee (tastes like cheekyn? :-)
I like these! Are these blossoms or fruit?

I've never even heard of a strawberry tree.
