Medium-size tree with a short trunk and a fairly dense ovoid to round crown. The scaling, grey-brown trunk has an attractive and decorative quality that becomes apparent after just a few years. The glossy, dark green leaf gives the tree a healthy appearance. In autumn and early winter, the dense panicles of small, white to light pink flowers appear. They can be followed by large, round fruits that resemble strawberries. These orange-red fruits are edible but fairly tasteless. A. unedo will grow in any soil type, tolerating both acidic and calcareous soils. The tree also has some tolerance for drought. It can easily tolerate (sea) wind but must be protected against cold (sub-zero) wind.

Arbutus unedo can eventually reach a height of 10 m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
Arbutus unedo is среднерастущий and can eventually reach a height of 10 m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
The right time to plant Arbutus unedo is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Arbutus unedo with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
