Arbutus unedo 'Atlantic' Bush

Arbutus Unedo 'Atlantic' is an evergreen strawberry tree with a spreading habit. From its rough, reddish-brown bark it produces spherical, bright yellow-orange fruit at an early age, taking a year to ripen to an intense red. This contrasts beautifully with urn-shaped, white flowers which grow in large clusters against elongated, leathery green leaves. This tree is a fantastic choice for a wildlife garden, the fruits are eaten by birds and other small mammals, and the nectar-rich flowers attract a variety of pollinating insects. 

Arbutus Unedo 'Atlantic' thrives in full sun in a sheltered setting. It prefers moist but humus rich, well-drained loam, chalk and sand soils and its ultimate height and spread is approximately 8 meters.
