Show Notes

It’s hard to believe I didn’t mention the beautiful color of the trunks and branches of manzanita. I must have just assumed everyone knew manzanita had beautiful trunks. I apologize and here ya go: The smooth trunks and older branches are very reddish brown or sometimes more brownish red, or sorta maroonish, but always beautiful. The photos are mine.
