Patio Strawberry Tree
Arbutus unedo 'Compacta'
- Comprising a clear standard stem and a lush, bushy head of foliage, this stunner is perfect used as part of a pair astride a doorway, as a potted feature plant on the terrace or even in your beds and borders.
- So-named for its strawberry-like autumn fruits which, though edible, are primarily ornamental, arbutus trees such as this one are certainly worthy of your attention!
- The fruits are preceded by delicate urn-shaped white blooms, flecked with pink, which are held aloft a verdant tapestry of evergreen foliage. Talk about year-round interest...
- 'Compacta' by name, compacta by nature... With just a little pruning, this slow-growing superstar will fit even the smallest of courtyard gardens or balconies.

Meet Mike's trusted specialists
Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
