Arctostaphylos bakeri
is a species of manzanita known by the common name Baker's manzanita. It is endemic to Sonoma County, California, where it grows in the chaparral and woodlands of the North Coast Ranges. It is sometimes a member of the serpentine soils flora. This is a shrub growing one to three meters in height. Its smaller twigs are bristly and hairy or hairy to woolly. The dark green leaves are generally oval in shape and up to 3 centimeters long. They may be hairy, rough or fuzzy in texture, and dull or shiny in appearance. The plentiful flower clusters hold crowded clusters of urn-shaped manzanita flowers. The fruit is a hairless drupe up to a centimeter wide.
Arctostaphylos bakeri
does best in nutrient-poor clay or loam soils that retain more water. While it can usually tolerate occasional summer water, it is best to stop all summer water after the first year.
Arctostaphylos bakeri
'Louis Edmunds' is the standard form of this manzanita available at native plant nurseries.
