Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Stiff, narrow green leaves make for a finer texture than many manzanitas and light pink urn-shaped flower clusters bloom in April. Its form is orderly and rounded when younger, more sculptural with age; limb up to reveal its exotic twisting and turning smooth red-burgundy bark. 6 ft wide x 5 ft tall. Evergreen. Minimum temperature: 0°F
