Strawberry trees are a great asset to a garden with their lovely glossy leaves, often finely edged in pink. These evergreen trees have a soft grey/pink bark and clusters of white heather bell flowers in late summer followed by strawberry-like fruit, edible but not very nice to eat.
A great all-rounder who looks good in winter. Hardy but protection from cold winds is essential. Arbutus prefers sun and well-drained fertile soil. Arbutus unedo’s maximum height in maturity is about 3 to 4m /10 to 13ft so they are suitable for small gardens and containers. They respond well to pruning and can be shaped into standards. Stake, weed, mulch, and feed when young.

Special features: This Strawberry tree is evergreen with a lovely bark, a good all year rounder
