Arctostaphylos glauca "Los Angeles" AKA LA glauca is a Big Berry manzanita from the Santa Monica Mountains. This one was originally collected by Bert Wilson in the area of Mulholland Hwy and Kanan Rd. near the site of the CNPS plant sale that we used to supply in the 1980's. The manzanita plant in the wild is long gone (too many fires) but we've kept the linage alive for decades in containers and finally in the ground here. Smooth red bark and clean shiny foliage with a yearly prize of white flowers make the plant quite attractive. This is the easiest Big Berry Manzanita we grow. It is really fast to get established and seems to thrive on neglect.
