Strawberry tree Arbutus unedo Compacta

Strawberry tree I like the article

Light Strawberry treeSole pieno
Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light. During the winter months we can cover a portion of the soil near the roots with dry leaves or other mulch tissue; in this manner we will protect the plant from the harsh climate.The Strawberry tree bears even very harsh temperatures, therefore it can be grown outdoors without feeling endangered by low temperatures.

Cultivation Strawberry tree
They tend to develop like erect small trees. This plant in the summer assumes a green colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 4 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter. The Strawberry tree develops like a shrub.

Fertilize Strawberry tree
Let’s remember to fertilize our shrubs often; we can fertilize enriching our soil with manure, at the end of the winter; or we can give it a fertilizer for flowering plants, every 20-25 days, when watering. If the shrubs are large or cover a large area, we can use a slow release granular fertilizer, to be used every 3-4 months. In the spring let’s favour fertilizers rich in nitrogen and potassium, to favour the development of a new vegetation and of flowerings.

Water Strawberry treeTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants with 1-2 buckets of water only when the soil is perfectly dry, generally it needs to be watered about every 2-3 weeks . Let's avoid to exceed. Concerning those specimens grown in vases, let's remember that usually they need more watering, compared to the same shrubs placed in the ground. Moreover, they are often more sensible to temperatures, either very high or very low, and to radical apparatus diseases.
