Arbutus unedo is a small tree or large shrub with attractive shredding brown bark. The white flowers are borne in late autumn and since the fruits take 12 months to ripen, the tree bears both mature fruits and flowers at the same time, making it incredibly beautiful. This is an excellent tree for coastal gardens or a sheltered spot inland.
This StrawberryTree is supplied in a 10 litre container suitable for planting all year round. The total height of this feathered tree is approximately 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft).
All of our trees and shrubs are grown in the UK to the highest standard. Every order comes complete with planting instructions and a guide to looking after your purchase.
