Arctostaphylos rudis 'Burton Beauty '
ShagBark Manzanita and Sand Mesa Manzanita.
Arctostaphylos rudis 'Burton Beauty' looks a bit like a columnar
'Howard McMinn'; However, unlike 'Howard McMinn' that grows in
northern California in clay soil and moderate rainfall, Burton
Beauty grows in very low rainfall (10 in) in sand.
This is a shagless shagbark manzanita that grows (grew?) in sand on hard pan in Burton Mesa in Lompoc. The plant looks very much like a densiflora Manzanita, but it will grow in beach sand with little care. It is a nice dark green with reddish hues and is about 5' tall and 3' wide. Burton Beauty is good for a small specimen Manzanita for a corner, or if you want some green along a long narrow bed against a fence or wall. It is not a Manzanita for heavy clay.
