Product information
A beautiful and unusual tree-form fuchsia from Central America, prized for its clusters of dainty lilac-pink flowers and lush evergreen foliage. Unlike the classic trailing fuchsias, Fuchsia arborescens grows upright, forming a large shrub or small tree up to 2 metres tall, creating an elegant feature in sheltered gardens.
Through the warmer months, generous sprays of soft pink to mauve flowers cover the canopy, attracting bees, butterflies, and small birds. Decorative blue-purple berries follow, adding extra seasonal interest and supporting local wildlife.

Fuchsia arborescens prefers a sheltered position with dappled shade, away from strong winds and heavy frost. It thrives in fertile, moist, and well-drained soils rich in organic matter, benefiting from regular mulching to maintain consistent soil moisture and temperature. In cooler climates, it is best grown in a protected microclimate, such as near a wall or under a high canopy, to shield it from cold snaps. Water regularly during dry periods, particularly in summer, but avoid waterlogging. Light pruning after flowering will encourage a bushier habit and maintain its natural shape. In cooler zones, it can also be grown in large pots and moved under cover during winter. Feeding with a balanced, organic fertiliser in spring supports strong flowering and growth.
