A small, evergreen tree with Lily-of-the-valley type flowers, followed by attractive, vaguely strawberry-like, edible fruits. Growing Details Common Name: Strawberry tree Genus: Arbutus Species: unedo Skill Level: Beginner Exposure: Full sun Hardiness: Hardy Soil type: Well-drained/light, Dry Height: 5ft Spread: 5ft Flowering period: September to November Description One of the few members of the erica family that is tolerant of chalk. The Strawberry tree produces white flowers in late autumn. Since the fruits take 12 months to ripen, the tree bears both mature fruits and flowers at the same time, making it incredibly beautiful. This is an excellent tree for coastal gardens or a sheltered spot inland.
