Plant Description

Erica arborea, known as tree heath or white heath, is a large evergreen shrub or small tree that can reach up to 6 meters tall. Its fine-textured, needle-like leaves grow densely along its branches, giving it a lush, feathery appearance. In early spring, it produces abundant small white flowers with a honey-like fragrance, clustering along the stems and attracting pollinators. This plant thrives in acidic, well-draining soils and is notable for its twisted trunk and branches, which become more pronounced with age. The hard, reddish wood of its roots is traditionally prized for making smoking pipes.
