Island Manzanita

A slow growing shrub that can reach up to eight feet tall and wide.  Orange, brown, pink, and white flowers bloom 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.
