Common name: No current common name.

Description

(Syn. A. peninsularis, probably a natural hybrid between A. glauca and A. glandulosa.) A lower moundy Big Berried Manzanita. We grew some for a remediation in South Riverside County, and are growing new plants off of the extra plants. We have not played with the plants enough to have a good feel on how much abuse they'll take, but the first plants are promising. A. rainbowensis seems to have good characteristics of both parents, a better growth form than either parent, the wonderful foliage of the S. Cal. Glauca, the mounding aspect of A. glandulosa, and the red trunks of both. The 4 foot mounds were surrounded by Rhus laurina, Arctostaphylos glandulosa, Arctostaphylos glauca, Artemisia calif., Quercus agrifolia, Platanus racemosa(slightly lower on slope), Salvia mellifera, Eriophyllum, Eriogonum fasciculatum, and Diplacus aurantiacus.
