Description

This Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden introduction is appreciated for its overall beauty and large size. It displays the attractive features of one of the parent plants, Arctostaphylos pajaroensis: waxy blue-green leaves, pink flowers, prominent red fruit and appealing form. ‘Lester Rowntree’ manzanita grows in a fairly open, rounded form to about ten feet. The bark is somewhat dark maroon/purple and lightly pealing. A sunny, well-draining site is ideal. ‘Lester Rowntree’ needs little or no water once established.
