Arctostaphylos 'Sunset', Sunset Manzanita
Arctostaphylos 'Sunset', Sunset Manzanita
A hybrid between Arctostaphylos hookeri and Arctostaphylos pajaroensis. This shrub or small tree can reach up to six feet high and wide. The trunk and bark is red. White flowers bloom in the winter through spring. It is best to prune in the time when they are flowering to early summer. Each flower cluster terminates the growth of a shoot causing an irregular twiggy branching habit.
It is not recommended to prune manzanitas during cool, wet winter months, this encourages fungal pathogens to spread. You can edge in late spring or early summer.
