Arbutus canariensis, known in Spanish as madroño canario, is a species of shrub or tree in the heath family. It is endemic to the Canary Islands of Spain, specifically Tenerife, La Gomera, Gran Canaria, El Hierro, and La Palma. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]

Hybrids

Arbutus x thuretiana Demoly is a hybrid between A. canariensis and A. andrachne.[3] Named after Gustave Thuret, it is naturalised at Jardin botanique de la Villa Thuret.[4] A. x thuretiana is renowned for its perfectly smooth, reddish-brown bark, exfoliating in the spring to show a new, surprisingly pistachio-green bark, which gradually darkens and turns reddish again.[3]
