Overview

A delightful medium- sized evergreen shrub with a long period of interest. Arbutus unedo ‘Compactum’ is more compact than other Arbutus but has the same dark cinnamon bark and dark glossy green leaves. Its white flowers in hanging clusters become pink-tinged as they age and give a good display from late Summer often until November. These are followed by orange-red strawberry-like fruits at the same time as the next crop of blossom. An excellent subject for a small garden.

    I rarely write reviews but I must recommend this excellent nursery. It is the best nursery I have used for online ordering. Rang them first with some questions and they were most helpful. Then did my order of heathers and they were sent and arrived promptly in great condition and are very healthy looking plants.
