First time seeing this tree in person at Guadalupe Mountains national Park and it's truly stunning from the peely red bark to the glossy foliage and red fruits
Really cool! Here in the PNW we have the Pacific Madrone, arbutus menziesii and it's my all-time favorite tree, broad-leaf evergreen with a similar looking wood as this!

Love an arbutus
Is this related to the strawberry tree? Looks quite similar.
Yes, same genus

İ've been making cakes with its fruits also made a marmelade with bunch of them
Wow that looks remarkable similar to the pacific madrone in California. Had no idea there was a Texas version
Oooh a special specimen out in the wild! Well, ok, parking lot - this was probably planted.
Lovely tree at any rate - thanks for sharing!
