Arctostaphylos densiflora
Manzanita
Lafayette, CA
February, 2014
- Thinned out to accentuate showy red bark and zig-zag branching pattern
- Cleared out undergrowth of weeds and grasses distracting from open base
- Reduced in size to form a more even, regular shape
- This particular Manzanita plays nicely with the winter silhouette of the larger tree behind it
