Arbutus menziesii

This Pacific madrone was planted by Hoya Yang to complement the house his wife, Edith Yang, designed. In 1954 Edith became the first female minority architect licensed in Oregon. She designed many buildings in the area and started the Corvallis street tree program. Hoya was a prominent food scientist who was influential in the beginnings of the Oregon wine industry and the development of the maraschino cherry.
