We’re continuing our January highlight of the Oregon Coastal Province with an iconic coastal Oregon species – our Hairy Manzanita, or Arctostaphylos columbiana. The northernmost tree-forming manzanita and perhaps our most famous local manzanita, A. columbiana ranges from rocky British Columbia to coastal California, and is the namesake of the coastal town of Manzanita, northwest of Portland.
