Trailing Arbutus (Epigaea repens)
3 for $15 dormant, bare root plants
The famously finicky to cultivate state flower of Massachusetts. Be sure your site is appropriate before planting-do your homework.
Trailing-arbutus is slow-growing. It can form a creeping mat of about 4-6 in. high. Broad, oval, leathery leaves are aromatic and evergreen. Trumpet-shaped, white to pale pink flowers, also aromatic, are followed by a whitish berry, resembling a raspberry in appearance.
It grows best in part shade in dry to moist, acidic, sandy to rocky soils with moderate organic matter. Delicate roots make it very difficult to establish and perpetuate. It will not tolerate disturbance, is extremely susceptible to failure during drought or flood, and is slow-growing even in good conditions.
Natural habitats: edges of oak-heath and pine forests. It favors exposed sites where the plants are not smothered by leaf litter.
