Market price from $62.99 to $104.99

Arbutus unedo is a captivating evergreen known popularly as the Strawberry Tree, an inviting addition to any scene with its interchanging canvas of vibrant colors, tastes, and textures. Towering at an impressive yet manageable 5-10 meters, this unique species is as resilient as it is beautiful, flourishing under a spectrum of sunlight but showing a particular fondness for a full sun to partial shade setting. Its foliage is a mirror-like dark green, an excellent backdrop for its elusive urn-shaped flowers. These blooms paint the tree in hues of white to pale pink from October through December, punctuating the frosty months with a burst of spring spirit. But the true highlight of this Mediterranean native is its edible gem-like fruits, their lively red coloring and rough texture strikingly reminiscent of strawberries. This tree is an exhibit of Mother Nature's best, offering up a feast for the eyes with its stunning attributes, from its peeling, reddish-brown bark that reveals a smooth under layer each season to its remarkable drought-tolerance. Be it in a pot or gracing the ground, the Strawberry Tree promises a charismatic dance of color and form all year round with minimal maintenance required.
