Strawberry Tree

Strawberry Tree (Arbutus) - Evergreen shrubs of much beauty, both of flower and form of leaf or bush, coming from warmer countries thrive best on our sea-shore or warmer districts. The beautiful A. Unedo grows 20 feet high or more in the coast districts, but inland it is cut down in severe winters. There are varieties of it, one of the best being A. Croomei, which has longer and broader leaves than the common kind. The variety rubra has almost bright scarlet flowers in autumn. S. Europe, and also wild in the south of Ireland. The other species are not so important as flowering trees, though good evergreens where they will face the climate. A. Andrachne, with smooth, ruddy-tinged bark, is hardy in the south and coast districts. It grows wild in Greece, and is a very old tree in gardens. The fine Californian Arbutus Menziesii is hardy with us. These shrubs succeed best in a deep light loam, and will thrive on chalky soils much better than many other evergreen shrubs. In the south and west of England, and in Ireland, the fruits are freely borne.
