Arbutus unedo 'Atlantic' is a compact cultivar of the strawberry tree, a bushy evergreen shrub that is smaller than the species but offers the same year-round ornamental appeal. It is known for its unusual, simultaneous display of bell-shaped flowers and strawberry-like fruits in the autumn.

  • Size: A compact, small-growing, and bushy tree, making it ideal for smaller gardens, containers, courtyards, and urban settings.
    • Height: Grows to a mature height of about 3 to 4 meters (10 to 13 feet).
    • Spread: Has a mature spread of 2.5 to 3 meters (8 to 10 feet).
  • Flowers: Produces profusions of creamy-white, bell-shaped flowers in the autumn, typically from September to December.
  • Fruit: Develops bright yellow-orange fruits that ripen to an intense red over the course of a year. The fruits from the previous year coincide with the autumn flowering. Though the fruit is edible, it is often grown for its ornamental value.
  • Foliage: Features glossy, evergreen, dark green leaves that provide year-round interest.
