Arbutus unedo x andrachne ‘Spring Frost’

Spring Frost is a variegated form of the popular Arbutus hybrid ‘Marina’ that is a stunning, low-maintenance tree, ideal for adding year-round beauty to a variety of garden settings. Arbutus ‘Spring Frost’ is a hybrid evergreen tree that is prized for its attractive, ornamental appearance. The tree typically grows to a height of twenty five feet and has a spreading, open canopy that is adorned with glossy, leathery, dark green and creamy white variegated leaves. Trees have smooth and vibrant red bark that contrast with its rich foliage, reminiscent of a large Manzanita.

Spring Frost produces showy, urn-shaped flowers that are typically pink-white and bloom in the winter or early spring. The flowers are followed by round, orange-red berries that are edible and showy. Spring Frost prefers a sunny location and well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering during periods of dry weather. The tree is also tolerant of salt spray, making it well-suited for coastal gardens.
