Pink strawberry tree

Arbutus Marina
Strawberry tree

An evergreen tree that typically grows to 20ft in height with equal spread; can get larger with age, as tall as 35ft. Single to multi-trunked, open habit. Clusters of white flowers with a pink tint. Blooms almost continually through the year. Flowers produce large red fruit through the year. Plant in sun to part shade. Needs little to no summer water when established. Best in well-drained soil. Prune to expose interesting bark. Resistant to oak root fungus.
