Description
The 'Atlantic' Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo) is a variety with a compact habit, evergreen and decorative foliage. Sometimes called the 'strawberry tree', this bush produces large red fruits in autumn. The flowering in the form of white bells appears in the previous autumn. This variety can be grown in a pot. Planting in spring or autumn, harvest from September to November.
Originally from the Mediterranean, the Strawberry Tree is a slow-growing evergreen and decorative bush. The 'Atlantic' variety, obtained by the French nurseryman Minier, has a compact habit, reaching 2m (6ft 7in) in height and 1.50m (4ft 11in) in width. Hardy up to -10°C (14 °F), the Strawberry Tree produces twisted branches with reddish-brown bark. The elliptical leaves, 6 to 9cm (2.4 to 3.5in) long, are slightly toothed on the edges, dark green, shiny on the upper side.
Flowering takes place from the end of August, in the form of white bells resembling those of lily of the valley. One year later, these honey-scented flowers will have produced fruits of 3 to 4cm (1.2 to 1.6in) in diameter, yellow-orange in colour and then red when ripe. Thus, in autumn, this shrub will simultaneously bear flowers and fruits. The strawberry-like fruits have a granular skin and a yellow flesh containing many small seeds. They are harvested when they are red and soft to the touch. These fruits with a tangy and sweet taste are consumed cooked, in jams, jellies or liqueurs.
In the garden, the Strawberry Tree is planted in isolation, as a hedge or in a container. This variety is particularly well suited for small spaces thanks to its compact habit.

Planting and care
The Strawberry Tree appreciates well-drained and light soils, with a tendency towards acidity or neutrality, tolerating drought. Prefer a sunny or semi-shaded exposure, in a place sheltered from cold winds. Planting is done in spring or autumn.
Dig a deep hole as the Strawberry Tree will develop a long tap root. Add a mixture of sand and soil, place the young plant and cover it. Water only at the time of planting and during the first year.
Cultivation in a pot is possible for this variety.
In cooler regions, protect the Strawberry Tree with a winter cover and mulch the base in winter.
Pruning is not necessary, except at the time of planting.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
