Hi Beeble, If it is a 'strawberry tree' (Arbutus unedo) then now would be a very good time, infact, now would be a good time even if it isnt !! I would suggest that you also trim the subsequent growth early August, you will lose the flowers for this year possibly but it will make this plant very bushy.
best wishes, Lannerman.
