Description Delivery

This striking shrub makes a superb focal point for year-round interest. Its leathery, evergreen foliage and peeling cinnamon brown bark form a superb backdrop for the clusters of small, white urn-shaped flowers in autumn. The dainty blooms give way to scarlet red fruits that only fully ripen in the following year, as a new set of flowers emerge. The edible fruits of Arbutus unedo 'Compacta' have a sharp aftertaste when eaten raw, but can be made into james and preserves for a sweeter, guava-like flavour. This neat, compact variety is an ideal specimen shrub for a sheltered position. Although perfectly hardy once mature, Arbutus will appreciate a layer of fleece for winter protection when young. Height and spread: 250cm (59")
