(Killarney Strawberry Tree)

Strawberry Tree

Arbutus unedo 'Compacta' (Killarney Strawberry Tree)
  • New in 2012
  • Evergreen shrub
  • Year-round interest
For year round interest, this superb Strawberry Tree is hard to beat. Arbutus unedo 'Compacta' forms a neat evergreen shrub or small tree that can be easily grown in a sheltered border or container. The small, lantern-shaped autumn flowers are followed by rounded scarlet red fruits that take a full year to ripen - so fruits and flowers can often be seen on the plant at the same time! Although edible, the fruits of the Strawberry Tree have a sharp aftertaste, so they best made into jams and preserves for a sweeter Guava-like flavour. Height and spread: 150cm (59"). Supplied in 9cm pot.

Cornus kousa

(Kousa Dogwood, Szechuan Strawberry)

 This magnificent flowering dogwood makes a sensational specimen tree with plenty of interest throughout the growing season. In early summer, the small green flowers emerge, surrounded by dazzling, starry white flowers bracts in a breathtaking display. As autumn approaches the flowers are replaced by fascinating strawberry–like fruits on mature trees. Although edible, the fruits of Cornus kousa look better than they taste, so they are best left on the branches. In a final show stopping display, the bright green foliage turns to a vibrant shade of crimson-purple that is at its best when Cornus kousa is grown on fertile soil, neutral to acid soil. Supplied in a 9cm pot. Height and spread: 5m (16').
