Summary[edit]

Description

Arctostaphylos glauca

bigberry manzanita

A much larger Arctostaphylos than what I'm used to in the Pacific Northwest. Note that there is nothing growing underneath this shrub - it is allelopathic, inhibiting the growth of other plants in its understory when rain leaches toxic arbutin and phenolic acids from its foliage en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctostaphylos_glauca

Allelopathy is a biological phenomenon by which an organism produces one or more biochemicals that influence the growth, survival, and reproduction of other organisms. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allelopathy

Seen at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.
