Arbutus tessellata

Arbutus tessellata is a Mexican species of shrubs in the heath family. It is widespread across much of northern and central Mexico from Chihuahua to Jalisco, Tlaxcala, and Veracruz.[1][2] It is found in a variety of habitats including Coastal chaparral and Mixed evergreen scrub and woodland. It has a relatively low seed germination rate which is one of the reasons that it is found in scattered populations. They produce red berries and their bark peels.
