Description
Arbutus Compacta is a beautiful and versatile dwarf variety of the Strawberry Tree, prized for its ornamental appeal and hardiness. This slow-growing, compact shrub reaches approximately 3-6 feet (90-180 cm) in height, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, patios, or as a decorative container plant. Its evergreen foliage consists of leathery, dark green leaves that provide a lush appearance throughout the year.
In late summer to fall, Arbutus Compacta produces delicate clusters of small, urn-shaped white to pink flowers, reminiscent of those found on blueberry plants. These charming blooms give way to round, textured red fruits that resemble strawberries, adding a striking contrast against the foliage. While the fruits are edible, they have a mild, slightly grainy texture and are often enjoyed by birds and wildlife.
