Discover the captivating allure of Arctostaphylos manzanita, commonly known as Common Manzanita or Whiteleaf Manzanita, a broadleaf evergreen that stands as a testament to nature's artistry. This adaptable native Californian shrub or small tree, ranging from 6.5 to 25+ feet in height, commands attention with its striking mahogany-colored bark and uniquely twisted, sinuous branches. Its bright green, wedge-shaped leaves catch the light, creating a striking contrast against the smooth, deep-hued stems.

In late winter to early spring, this spectacular plant puts on a show with clusters of small, urn-shaped flowers in shades from white to pink, attracting bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. The blooms give way to edible berries that mature from white to a rich red-brown, resembling tiny apples. A true icon of xeriscape gardens, it thrives in a variety of soils from full sun to part shade, and showcases remarkable drought tolerance, needing only monthly summer watering. Perfect for those seeking year-round visual appeal and a haven for local wildlife, Arctostaphylos manzanita adds an architectural charm to any landscape.
