Arbutus unedo f. rubra

Arbutus unedo 'Rubra'

Arbutus unedo 'Rubra' is a beautiful evergreen strawberry tree forming a rounded, compact shrub or small tree with glossy dark green foliage and exceptional year-round interest. In autumn, clusters of rich pink, bell-shaped flowers hang gracefully from the branches, creating a striking display against the evergreen leaves.

One of the unique features of this variety is its ability to carry flowers and fruit at the same time. The blooms are followed by attractive strawberry-like red fruits which are edible and provide additional ornamental value through autumn and winter. The dark red tinges to the bark and young branches further enhance its appeal.

Exceptionally hardy and tolerant of dry soils once established, 'Rubra' makes an excellent specimen plant for sunny or partially shaded positions. Its compact habit, attractive foliage and long season of interest make it a valuable addition to gardens of all sizes.
