Arbutus unedo ‘Compacta’ - Dwarf Strawberry Tree

Market price from $39.99 to $96.99

Arbutus unedo ‘Compacta’ is a brilliant display of versatility and year-round beauty, lovingly known as the Dwarf Strawberry Tree. Originating from the Mediterranean, this evergreen wonder stands proud at an approachable 5-10 feet in height and spreads its rich, glossy dark-green clout across an equally impressive 6-10 feet space. A symbol of resilience, its adaptability shines through diverse soil conditions and moderate drought, making it a low maintenance addition to your landscape. The tree blooms in late fall, producing a charming spectacle of bell-shaped, pinkish-white flowers. As winter sets in, they pave the way for a unique bonus: decorative, edible small red fruits that echo the allure of strawberries. Its compact structure, sundry appeal and bird-attracting attributes make it a favored choice for landscaping projects, whether you're looking to invigorate small gardens or add a point of interest to larger landscapes. This is the Dwarf Strawberry Tree, a staple of beauty and function in one neat, nature-inspired package.
