Arbutus unedo compacta (The strawberry tree)
Arbutus unedo compacta is a evergreen shrub named the Strawberry tree after the red fruit it produces in the Autumn, edible yes, yummy well not exactly, in Portugal they use them to make a spirit called medronho. Small white flushed pink flowers are produced in Autumn as the fruit can take up to a year to mature both fruit and flowers can be on the bush at the same time. Best grown away from strong cold winds in full sun, it is tolerant of seaside conditions and city pollution, low maintenance it does not need pruning ( although you can if you wish) and will naturally form a multi stemmed tree.
Plants are supplied in a 2ltr pot. These plants are no longer "compacta"! and although we will keep them as large as possible they will need to be pruned back for packing.
Fuchsia microphylla
Fuchsia microphylla is one of the most rewarding hardy fuchsias to grow, when it is in full flower although the blooms are small the whole bush is covered in them creating almost a magenta cloud! Although I am assured it can get taller here, it rarely gets taller than 1mtr in warmer areas it would grow from the hard wood frame but here we cut it back to 20cms in the spring and off it goes shooting up to 1mtr. Still flowering here well into November if we haven't had a frost!
Plants are supplied in a 9cm pot.
Ceanothus “Blue sapphire”
Ceanothus "Blue sapphire" is an evergreen shrub with small, very dark green leaves and strong dark blue flowers held on arching stems. It makes an excellent shrub for a large container as it can cope with dry conditions and it's spreading shape looks impressive when it hangs over the edge of a pot or wall. The young foliage is almost bronze it's so dark, making it an excellent background for the rich blue flowers.
