Pacific Madrone

Honeybees are attracted to the honey-scented, creamy white urn-shaped flowers for moderate nectar and pollen rewards during the spring bloom period. Peak foraging opportunity aligns with April to May in northern hemisphere temperate climates, supporting early-season colony buildup. This evergreen tree thrives in well-drained, acidic soils and may require protection from excessive humidity to prevent fungal issues, but it generally needs no staking and resists deer browsing.
