How to plant Arbutus
Arbutus are best planted in a well-drained soil of loam, sand or clay within an acidic or neutral PH balance. They are best positioned in an area that receives full sun. Arbutus are well suited to being planted in containers and pots.
How to care for Arbutus
Water regularly during active growth. Ensuring not to overwater or waterlog the planting area. You may wish to regularly apply organic fertiliser to encourage optimum growth. Lightly prune during late spring or early summer, ensuring you are not pruning back any forming fruit, as they tend to mature during the autumn months.
How to propagate Arbutus
It is possible to propagate Arbutus by semi-ripe cuttings in late summer or seed own in autumn.
