Market price from $134.99 to $314.99

Arbutus 'Marina' is a highly sought-after evergreen, known widely as the Marina Strawberry Tree. It's an awe-inspiring fixture in any landscape, standing proud at a grand height of up to 40 feet and spreading an artistic canopy up to 20 feet wide. This majestic tree dons an armor of rugged, peeling red-brown bark that interestingly reveals a velvet, cream-hued inner layer. Its leaves, glossy and dark green, provide a welcome contrast to the coral-pink, bell-shaped flowers that make a seasonal appearance in fall and winter. An unexpected surprise comes in the form of vibrant red-orange fruits that closely resemble strawberries, adding a dash of playful whimsy to this striking tree. With an ability to withstand wind and drought and an adaptable nature to a variety of soils, this tree is as tough as it is elegant. Not to be mistaken for lunch, the edible-looking fruits primarily serve our fine-feathered friends, attracting an assortment of birds. The Marina Strawberry tree thrives best under full sun to partial shade and proves to be a true spectacle for any garden vista, affirming its place as a conversation starter.
