There are a few Irish wholesale nurseries growing them so check some other garden centres. They should cost ten to fifteen Euro for a plant around 30cm high.

You can buy seeds from Chiltern Seeds - I got some strawberry trees in a mixed bag of shrub seeds years ago, and they did very well, several germinated along with a wild assortment of other shrubs, and they grew into fine bushes with little fuss. http://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/search?q=Arbutus+unedo

Thanks, but I was hoping to buy a tree instead of seeds takes to much time to grown.
