Description
 
Quart Pot
Extremely handsome big evergreen shrub to 10'x10' or more with classic mahogany bark peeling to reveal that much loved Hi-Gloss finish on the trunk and branches.  Pink buds in spring open to white urn-shaped flowers followed by clusters of russet not messy-at-all fruit which has some avian appeal. . Leaves are held perpendicular to the sun to conserve water which is an adaptation to summer heat and low or no rainfall.  So no mollycoddling whatsoever with this one.  Well-drained soil of low fertility and don't water once established and much as we love mulching with manure, don't on this one or any other shrubby Arctostaphylos.  There really are plants whose main requirement is that you do nothing except admire.
