A Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii) is a striking broadleaf evergreen tree native to the Pacific Northwest, known for its smooth, reddish-orange peeling bark that reveals green underneath, waxy dark leaves, bell-shaped white flowers, and bright red berries, serving as a vital food source for wildlife and an iconic, yet somewhat sensitive, part of coastal forests.
