Arbutus produces racemes of white flowers in late summer, which in turn produce rounded fruit.
Cultivation tips: Arbutus prefers an acidic soil that is well drained. Plant in a position that is sheltered and receives full sun - ideally south facing. Prune to shape in spring. Arbutus is well suited to seaside areas.
