Manzanita Ericaeae
Arctostaphylos
(3) 4" pots planted on 2-2000 from CNPS
Species was not labelled but I'm guessing it was A hookeri ssp. franciscana,
Franciscan Manzanita, San Francisco Manzanita or Raven's Manzanita
(Arctostaphylos hookeri var. ravenii) Only one naturally occuring plant survives in the
world in The Presidio. Can be propagated well. Hookeri is is a popular species for
ornamental cultivars that perform well in gardens and there are many wild subspecies.
Gravel or larger rocks make a nice disease free mulch. Acid rocky soils, serpentine.
