Compact Strawberry Tree is a smaller, more contained variety of the Arbutus unedo, native to Mediterranean regions. It thrives in well-drained soil, full sun to partial shade, and is suited for USDA zones 7 to 10.
This evergreen shrub or small tree typically grows 6 to 8 feet tall and wide, making it ideal for smaller gardens or as a container plant. It features a compact, rounded form with dark green, glossy leaves.
The Compact Strawberry Tree is noted for its multi-season interest. In fall, it produces white to pink, bell-shaped flowers, and at the same time, displays strawberry-like red fruits from the previous year's blossoms. These fruits are edible but have a bland taste.
It's an excellent choice for ornamental use in landscapes, offering year-round interest with its flowers, fruits, and evergreen foliage. For optimal growth, it requires moderate watering, particularly during dry periods, and benefits from well-draining soil.
