Dwarf Strawberry
Arbutus unedo
Dwarf Strawberry (Arbutus unedo) is a compact evergreen shrub well-suited to Willamette Valley gardens, forming a tidy 6–12 ft mound with glossy serrated leaves, peeling cinnamon-red bark and clusters of urn-shaped white to pink flowers in autumn and winter followed by rough red, edible "strawberry" fruits that often persist into winter. It thrives in full sun to part shade on well-drained soil, tolerates summer drought once established, attracts pollinators, is deer-resistant, and works well in containers, as a small specimen or informal hedge in temperate maritime climates, so prune lightly after flowering and avoid poorly drained sites.
