4\/23\/26 – I’m amazed at how much this grew this year! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

4\/2\/26 – This Lester Rowntree has exploded this year, I guess it’s considered established at this point since it’s about tripled in size now.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3\/10\/26 – Plant is on it’s way to doubling in size with this latest growth spurt! I just saw a picture of a VERY mature specimen and it was enormous, I planted this one WAY too close to the other plants<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2\/14\/26 – Lots of red fruits contrast nicely with the leaves. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Big growth spurt this year, it’s been in the ground for ~20 months now<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/30\/26 – My potted Lester Rowntree is flowering as well. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1\/3\/26 – The pinkest of all my manzanita flower; looks amazing against the leaves. This is probably my favorite of all the manzanitas I have. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

12\/24\/25 – First flowers of the year on the Lester Rowntree. I’m really looking forward to the red berries and growth spurt in the coming months.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

11\/16\/25 – Almost 18 months in the ground now. It’s a slow grower but worth the wait. Looking forward to the flowers this winter. Also the red berries look amazing against the light foliage. The is one of my favorite manzanitas. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

8\/23\/25 – I love the color on this manzanita, it contrasts nicely with the Howard McMinn a few feet over. I try not to water this one very much but there are some other plants around it that require more, so I might have to let them die off to get my hydrozone in order. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

7\/9\/25 – Just over 1 year in the ground now. It seems happy enough. I really like this variety but that’s not saying much when you have 20+ different types in your yard.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4\/24\/25 – Fresh growth coming in red, looks great on a sunny day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4\/10\/25 – Lots of new growth happening on most of my manzanitas now<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3\/19\/25 – Fruit has set leaving red berries for the birds to eat. This seems to be a very slow growing variety.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

12\/14\/24 – Lester Rowntree that’s in the ground has NOT started flowering yet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
