The Pacific Madrone, Arbutus menziesii, with its greenish wood and peeling red bark is one of our most notable trees. It grows only in coastal areas, is very difficult to cultivate, and ranges from British Columbia to Mexico though in parts of its range it is seriously endangered. This close-up was taken on Pass Island in Deception Pass State Park.

This is a photo of the actual trees whose wood and bark I posted a few days ago. Taken in Sharpe Park on Fidalgo Island, these are not by any means the largest Madrones I've seen but are one of the nicest and in one of the nicest settings. The Pacific Madrone, Arbutus menziesii, is native to the Pacific coast and is noted for its red, flaking back and greenish wood.

Taken on a hike on the south shore of Fidalgo Island near Deception Pass. We were looking for Fairy Slippers, which we found, but the Madrones along the trail were superbly beautiful. This one was hanging off the bluff over the water.

Taken in the area of Deception Pass (these grow only along the coast), this is one of our most beautiful and unique trees, the Pacific Madrone, Arbutus menziesii. In this photo the peeling reddish bark and green wood can be clearly seen.

More of the Pacific Madrone trees (Arbutus menziesii), we saw at Sharpe Park. The park had some of the most beautiful Madrones I have ever seen. This picture shows something of the smooth colorful wood and the peeling bark that make these trees so attractive. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/04/sharpe-park...
