arbutus
Red-barked evergreen shrub
Arbutus is a genus of evergreen trees and shrubs with smooth reddish bark, white or pink bell-shaped flowers, and red berries.
The Pacific madrone is the most familiar North American species.
Trailing arbutus is an unrelated creeping plant with fragrant pink flowers, native to eastern North America and prized as a wildflower: We found trailing arbutus blooming in the April woods.
