    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Along the Klamath River between Happy Camp and Orleans, California, Arctostaphylos viscida and A. manzanita seem to intergrade so well that you can hardly tell which is which. This is one of those intermediate forms and seems to be about midway between the two, with floral features a bit closer to A. manzanita but stems that look very viscida-ish to me. The leaves were a very nice pale green and I would expect it to reach 8 - 10' tall and wide over time. It should have excellent cold hardiness as well. Be among the first to try this exciting new introduction!
