Arbutus unedo is very hardy and can withstand adverse conditions such as coastal, heat, and cold environments. It produces small, white flowers in autumn and winter, which are 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. Birds love the fruit, making it a great addition to a garden or outdoor space. Arbutus unedo has peeling, red-brown bark, which adds to its attractive appearance. Arbutus unedo is evergreen and native to the Mediterranean region and western Europe. Learn more about Arbutus unedo.
