Arbutus unendo 'Compacta'

'The Strawberry Tree', this variety is a large compact, evergreen shrub, with interesting tactile peeling bark and dark green leaves. It produces small white, waxy flowers in the autumn, followed by small spherical red strawberry like fruit, both at the same time, making it a lovely specimen for smaller gardens. (fruits are edible by humans, but not pleasant, although the birds will love them!)

Prefering a sheltered spot in full sun to partial shade, it needs a well drained soil, and is particularly good in coastal areas
