Pacific Madrona (66.5KB)Pacific Madrona is a native evergreen which sheds its bark bit by bit. It blooms profusely in spring and has edible fruit in fall which attracts birds. The Indians used the berries to treat colds, stomach problems and tuberculosis, and for post-childbirth contraception.  madrone_leaves.jpg (35972 bytes)  madrone_redpeelingbark.jpg (25372 bytes)
