I really dig manzanita. A lot of us do. But when it comes to bonsai culture, success to put it mildly, is mixed. I started working with these steadily about 3 years ago. I've had some small victories and failures. I've learned some things but still have a long way to go. One problem is that information about these species is sparse, and at times too generalized and vague. I'm starting this thread with the goal of having folks share their knowledge and help fill in gaps. I'm inviting everyone who has attempted these plants to feel free to contribute, ask questions, bring forth ideas to work on. Even failures are valuable at adding to the knowledge pool, so please don't be shy. I'll start the ball rolling by posting a few pics with some things I'm trying. Sorry no masterpieces here. I'm learning to run by walking by crawling. I look forward to the contributions!
