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.

[1] Arbutus x thuretiana Demoly is a hybrid between A. canariensis and A.

[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.
