What the hell is a Manzanita when it is at home?"

At risk that I am replying to a question already answered I will offer a
little background on manzanitas. These plants are in the Erica family and
occur widely over North America. The largest number of species is found on
the West Coast region from Canada to Mexico, but primarily in California.
They are attractive evergreens that may be ground-hugging or, in some
species, treelike. They all have little bell shaped pink or white flowers
much like those on heathers or, to an Australian plantsman, an Epacrid.
Many species have beautiful shiny brown bark.

The term 'manzanita, is derived from Spanish and means 'little apples',
after the small fruits they bear. Its home is defined above.
