Arbutus Andrachnoides vs Marina
Do any Shoot members have information about A Marina in comparison to A Andrachnoides in terms of hardiness and robustness? My A Andrachnoides was planted in what was effectively a raised bed, and I had no problems with hardiness despite temperatures last year of -15C, but clearly wind is a problem. Also, which is faster growing?...
