Arbutus canariensis

Arbutus canariensis has bold and attractive green foliage. In autumn to early winter, large, upright panicles of white-pink, bell-shaped flowers cover Arbutus canariensis, making it a great source of pollen for bees. It also produces green fruit in the winter after the flowers, which take almost a full year to ripen. The fruit changes color from yellow to red and ripens when the next year’s autumn flowers appear. The fruit is a favorite of birds. Arbutus canariensis has peeling, red-brown bark and is tolerant of wind and heat, making it a great option for a variety of outdoor spaces. Arbutus canariensis is evergreen and native to the Canary Islands of Spain. Learn more about Arbutus canariensis.
