If I remember correctly from 6th grade camp, a madrone is a local
(California) tree with distinctive red bark, part of the chaparral
vegetation. I don't think it's very big; it's more like a large bush. Most
of the local trees are shaped like scrub, kind of random, sprawly, and oaky,
unlike the tall straight things that grow in the mountains or most other
places.
