Amazingly, it is also found in Abyssinia and on many of the higher mountains of eastern and central Africa (including Mt Kilimanjaro)! This forms an erect shrub or small tree with tiny linear leaves of deep glossy green. The small but quite fragrant white flowers appear in masses in mid-spring. This species has been cultivated here in the garden since 1994 and has never suffered any damage from cold temperatures. A beautiful and easily grown wild heath that deserves wider cultivation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden","offers":[{"title":"Small Band","offer_id":42890906304579,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/3865\/4275\/files\/IMG_20260505_151501166_HDR.jpg?v=1784752795","url":"https:\/\/shop.rhodygarden.org\/products\/erica-arborea","provider":"Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
