madrone
It's a particular kind of strawberry tree, Arbutus menziesii/. I know it really well.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbutus_menziesii

Note that it is also called 'Madroño' in English. However, madrone is much more common.

'Madrone' is an anglicization of "Madroño", so I think it's clearly the answer to the question.
The tree in question may not be Arbutus menziesii, which is a Western Hemisphere native, but that's beside the point, IMO. It is a common name for several trees of the genus Arbutus.
Below is a list of the common strawberry trees (genus Arbutus) that grow in western North America. The first three grow well in Southern California. I am a landscape designer and I have used the first three in my designs but growers do not recommend the Madrone for our climate. The common names given below
Arbutus unedo - Strawberry Tree
Arbutus unedo 'compacta' - Compact Strawberry Tree
Arbutus x 'Marina' - Arbutus Marina, or Marina Strawberry Tree
Arbutus menziesii - Madrone

P.S. There are 14 species in the genus Arbutus.

Rachel points out that arbutus berry is possibly more common - I certainly have always known them as the fruits, but every family is a world unto itself and google certainly points to berry being more common.
