Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From a virtual manzanita savannah growing amid California juniper and blue oak this clone grows to 8' or more and can be coerced to 12' to 15' as a small tree, rounded form with deep lustrous green leaves and nearly white flowers from December to February all contrasting quite nicely with sinuous cinnamon colored bark. Very drought tolerant for summer dry climates, but can handle a bit of extra summer water. Zone 7, sun to part shade
