@jamesandjosietravel: We found the smoothest tree EVER in Canada… 😱🇨🇦

✨ Tabatha 🇨🇦 :

It is an Arbutus Tree. My personal favourite. Only found on the West Coast of North America.

SamSamBoBam🇨🇦 :

I’ve lived in Arbutus street this last year in Vancouver. I learned a month ago that that is the Canadian name for Madrona trees. 😂

James Jackson :

They only grow within 500’ of the ocean in Pacific Northwest

Ryan :

Arbutus is such a beautiful tree.

tonywhit84 :

Gotta love the arbutus they only grows here on the island as far as I know

Zirach🇨🇦 :

That’s Arbutus. Very hard wood and slow growing

Fastcat1969 :

Looks like an Arbutis. Only found on Vancouver Island I believe

Aimz :

i ordered wood from a local guy- there were logs of arbutus in the delivery. that stuff burns like coal. one log would last us all night in the winters.

Avery Tharp :

We call it madrone in Santa Cruz.

saltygoose57🇨🇦 :

arbutus, if you're American, madrona. I think it's only found along the pacific coast, from Vancouver island to northern California (correct me if im wrong)

🇨🇦11fox1🇨🇦 :

Ticks Love those trees. 🥴

Kkymsplants🇨🇦 :

I grow these, no Arbutus menseseii is not not the same as your Australian paperbark tree. Arbutus are in the Erica/Heather family and your Melaleuca quinquenervia is in the Myrtle family. Arbutus only grow on a thin coastal strip from SW BC Canada to Me I o.

Jeanie 🇨🇦 :

Indeed, it is an Arbutus

Allan Fotheringham 🇨🇦 :

Hard enough to total any vehicle that hits one full grown...

Kiera 🇨🇦 🦫 :

Arbutus extremely hard wood.. only found on the west coast marine environment although you can find a few inland

Alison Johnny🇨🇦🪶 :

I love Arbutus trees they sure bring a whole different look to out doors for west coast.

Errol :

Madrona

Rob Wilson :

if youre going to rub it like that, I hope you bought it dinner first 🙄

772j53 :

Indigenous used the leaf for tea to heal the kidneys and body . Loggers used the little red berries for fishing ,they imitate salmon roe

Heather Lynn :

its Canada's only deciduous evergreen tree!

sabbiecat 🇨🇦 :

Arbutus is right I had a bonsai Arbutus when I lived in oak Bay

Claudio Espinoza593 :

Pretty much the greatest tree in the whole world. So beautiful.

deeprough :

Tourist trees. They turn red and peel in the summer 😂✌

Zillyball :
