Arbutus unedo 'Roselily'
Commonly known as �Strawberry Tree� this glossy leaved evergreen shrub has year round interest in the garden. The shrub produces many small clusters of white bell-shaped flowers in autumn which become next year's crop of attractively textured red fruit. The bark of the arbutus is rusty coloured and peeling, and the plant itself requires no maintenance pruning.
Plant Care
Keep well watered until firmly established, feed annually with a good quality, nutritious mulch.
