Strawberry trees are a great asset to a garden with it lovely glossy evergreen leaves, often finely edged in pink. Soft grey/pink bark and clusters of white heatherbell flowers in late summer followed by strawberry like fruit, edible but not very nice to eat.
A great all-rounder which looks good in winter. Hardy but protection from cold winds is essential. Arbutus prefers sun and well-drained fertile soil. Their 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: Evergreen with a lovely bark, good all year rounder
