Arbutus unedo 'Compacta'
Arbutus unedo 'Compacta' is a compact form of the Strawberry Tree, valued for its attractive evergreen foliage, autumn flowers, and colourful ornamental fruits. Glossy dark green leaves create year-round structure, while clusters of creamy-white, bell-shaped flowers appear in autumn, often alongside decorative red strawberry-like fruits, providing exceptional seasonal interest.
Slower growing and more manageable than the species, ‘Compacta’ is ideal for smaller gardens, borders, or container planting. Hardy and tolerant once established, it thrives in sunny sheltered positions and adds Mediterranean character and wildlife value to the garden.
