Arbutus × andrachnoides is a very beautiful small evergreen tree with dark green leaves and small, white (occasionally with a pink flush), bell-shaped flowers in winter. These flowers may be occasionally followed by red/orange strawberry-like fruit after a particularly hot summer.  The bark is a lovely reddish-brown colour once established.

Best grown for its attractive habit and eye-catching bark, with the fruits more of a bonus if you are lucky enough to see them.
