Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Arbutus Marina does best in full or partial sun and in well drained soil. It is suitable for coastal positions but needs a bit of shelter in cold gardens. The planting site should be well prepared with a good layer of mulch applied to the base of the planting hole. In-fill should be a mix of soil and compost with additional mulch applied around the base of the tree once planted
