@bomengidsnl The common name of this tree in Dutch reminded me of the difference in names for Fragaria in Dutch/German vs English: Aardbei/Erdbeere vs Strawberry.
Regardless of the true etymology for the 'straw' in 'strawberry', I always found the difference with 'earthberry' intriguing.
(BTW, the common English name for the tree is just the genus name Arbutus, except in California and the western US, where the Spanish-derived name Madrone is used.)
