However, they are sometimes shy to produce this fruit. The plant will be guaranteed to show gorgeous flowering in Autumn, with the flowers coming in an elegant white colour. The glossy green foliage is evergreen, therefore lasting all-year-round. - Plant Advice: Arbutus should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and kept in full sun at the best of times. Water regularly for the most-part, but less-so in the Summer growing season. You should aim to avoid overwatering it and, finally, give it less water during Winter. - *Images are for illustrative purposes only.
