More About Natural and Plant Dyes

Arbutus - Natural Dye Plants

The bark that naturally peels off the Arbutus tree is a source of brown dye and tannin.

Arbutus (Madrone) bark has also been used for medicinal purposes such as for colds, stomach problems and post-childbirth contraceptives.

House Shadow Drake - Strawberry Tree
During the Middle Ages the bark of the arbutus was used to dye wool for use in tapestries and other such works.

The Beauty of Arbutus
The Arbutus is also known as the Strawberry Tree because of the bright red berries that resemble oranges.
