One of the most spectacular sights was the almost luminescent bark of Arbutus 'Hybrid Seedling'.
The Arbutus family is often overlooked despite offering evergreen trees and shrubs with ornamental bark, clusters of creamy flowers and colourful fruits. Surely ticking the boxes of providing year round colour and interest. They are largely tolerant of most soils and aspects and only ask that you protect them from cold winds and water-logging.


Native to temperate climates, they bring us a taste of the mediterranean without the tenderness and difficulties associated the popular Olive tree.
