MANZANITA TREE

 Dave said you need to go out and take a picture or two of our Manzanita Tree.

The bark is shedding.  I love the colors and curly pieces up and down the trunk.

No sun today and we have some pretty windy gusts too.

Tomorrow its suppose to be 100F...  Goodie ... Goodie ... NOT !









Dave's are better but at least I have a record of it.

Hope this week is great for all of you.

Years ago my father made a beautiful stock for a shotgun out of Manzanita wood. It was beautiful.

I so love that bark/tree. I would be taking photos all the time.

Beautiful! I've never seen anything like this before.
Please hydrate and keep near the AC!

Is your manzanita tree potted? We bought two small saplings a couple of years ago at a California native nursery here. They're growing.
I've always enjoyed their unique beauty.

Is that normal for the tree to shed like that - extremely intersting there.
It is way toooooooooooooooo hot! Hotter than GA!
