7 Nurseries Carry This Plant

About Eastwood Manzanita (Arctostaphylos glandulosa) 7 Nurseries Carry This Plant Eastwood Manzanita is one of the many Manzanitas native to California. This Manzanita can be found along coastal slopes that stretch from Baja California all the way up through Oregon.

Propagation
Propagation?
For propagating by seed: Soak in concentrated H 2 S04 for 4-15 hrs. (USDA Forest Service 1974). For the acid treatment, single nutlets and stone pieces (often without embryos) and entire stones should be treated separately, as they require different amounts of time in acid (Giersback 1937) For all species an alternate method is fire treatment in fall, this gives germination by spring. More easily propogated from tip cuttings in winter using bottom heat.

Natural Setting
Site Type
Site Type
