Arctostaphylos osoensis, Oso Manzanita Size:3 qt - no shipping Differs from its parent byA lovely small and extremely rare Arctostaphylos from the west end of San Louis Valley above Morro Bay. Oso manzanita has dense bright green leaves with a distinctive matte finish.

Young plants grow with a rounded form then mature to an open structure with sculptural twisting branches of smooth mahogany aging to grey.
