Arbutus 'Marina' in the garden at San Marcos Growers in 1993.
San Marcos Growers planted our first Arbutus 'Marina' on the nursery property in 1989. This tree was low branched plant in a 24 inch box and planted out was about 5 feet tall.
This tree now graces the nursery's main demostration garden, having grown rapidly since its planting into a specimen tree that in 2010 we have measured at 41 feet tall by 55 feet wide.
We encourage our customers who visit the nursery to take the time to visit this garden to see this beautiful tree.
