Arbutus marina or Strawberry tree is a 25-40 ft. tree or four-season evergreen shrub, with cinnamon-colored bark and dark green and glossy leaves. White or pink bell-shaped flowers appear October to December. The edible fruit is a rough surfaced orange-red 3/4" berry.
Arbutus marina tolerates a wide variety of soil conditions. Requires part or full sun and is drought tolerant once established. Can be trained as a single trunked tree, multi-trunked specimen, or grown as a screen or tall hedge.
