Arctostaphylos glandulosa

Eastwood manzanita

Family: Ericaceae · Type: shrub · Native

Eastwood manzanita is a California native shrub found in chaparral and coastal habitats, typically growing at elevations between 300 to 1,200 meters. Flowering from January to March, this plant produces white to pink urn-shaped flowers clustered in pendulous panicles. Growing erectly to 1 to 4 meters tall with distinctive smooth, reddish-brown bark and a hemispheric burl at its base, it forms a compact and elegant shrub. Its leaves are bright green to gray-green, elliptic to ovate, 2 to 4.5 centimeters long with a wedge-shaped base and entire margins, often appearing slightly shiny and glandular-puberulent. The fruit is a sticky, depressed-spheric drupe approximately 6 to 10 millimeters wide, typical of manzanita species.
