Arbutus unedo 'Compacta', a dwarf form of the Strawberry Tree, is naturally bushy with multi-stemmed growth, reaching 6-8 feet tall and 5-9 feet wide—slightly larger with age. This compact form makes an excellent screen, informal hedge, or, with pruning, a small specimen tree.

In California, this evergreen shrub or small tree provides year-round interest. The Compact Strawberry Tree features a profusion of white, urn-shaped blooms from fall through winter, followed by bright red fruits in winter and early spring that resemble strawberries. Its attractive bark, delicate flowers, and unique fruits are best appreciated up close, making it a captivating addition to any garden.
