Found a garden center offering them, kinda looks like a mirtle of some sort, they have it listed as a strawberry tree or madruno, whish it is not!

My plant arrived today, very healthy looking, full of berries also. The berries are very aromatic, moderately sweet and with a nice taste, and a strong aftertaste of wild strawberries, there is also a slightly similar taste note to myrtle berries , which ive also tried and did not like at all, but with this one this taste is very subtle, i really enjoy theese.
