    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    These oddly distributed mounding shrubs from the Klamath River near the town of Orleans are a bit of a mystery. Planted or wild we don't know. Clearly an affinity to Arctostaphylos hispidula or an A. stanfordiana hybrid. 4' in height by 6' in width. Glossy small leaves, late winter pale pink to white flowers, and brick colored fruit and bark. Nice and very easy in the garden. A bit more tolerant of summer garden water than most. Full sun to dappled shade. Undoubtedly hardy to USDA zone 7.
