Arbutus unedo / Strawberry tree

by Arundel Arboretum on Dec 11, 2022
Arbutus unedo is a large evergreen shrub or small tree. It is capable of withstanding a coastal position. The rough, reddish-brown bark flakes. The main feature of this tree is the spectacular white flowers which are followed by red, strawberry fruit. Loved by the birds! Arbutus unedo should be planted in a sunny, sheltered position. It requires moist, well drained soil. An eventual height and width of 4-8m.
