Comments:
This is a special hybrid Arbutus that produces light pink flowers and grows to be a considerably large tree in time. Cannot tolerate hard freezes and is somewhat drought tolerant making it a good choice for xeriscaping. Often grows to be multiple-trunked and produces beautiful red bark. Fruit attractive to birds.
