General Information
This relatively new hybrid Madrone has parentage that includes the Mediterranean species Arbutus andrachne and Arbutus unedo, and possibly the Canary Island Arbutus canariensis. As such, it is much more easily grown that the Pacific Coast native Madrone, and is a good substitute for it in gardens. \'Marina\' is like a larger, faster-growing version of the popular Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo), with handsome evergreen foliage, ornamental brown bark, rosy-pink flowers, and showy orange fruits. It is tolerant of many soils and watering regimes, is pest-free, and with only occasional light pruning is easily controlled in size (it is often trained as a \"standard\" and kept at 20 feet tall). This is a first-class garden and landscape tree that can even be grown in lawns where drainage is good.
