Bonny Doon Reserve
Shedding velvet? Or injured?
Fully gray and shredded bark makes this tomentosa. Do the long nonglandular twig hairs and tomentose abaxial leaf surfaces mean we have to call it ssp. daciticola?
Bark gray and shredded at the very base, but smooth and red everywhere else. Long, nonglandular twig hair. Some leaves quite tomentose abaxially, others nearly glabrous. Most of the surrounding manzanita is clearly A. tomentosa, but there is plenty of A. crustacea nearby.
Bark smooth, twigs with long, nonglandular hairs, abaxial leaf surfaces only minutely tomentose.
Prominent burl. No gray or shredded bark. Long, nonglandular twig hair. Glabrous abaxial leaf surfaces (even on new leaves).
Small patches of gray, shredded bark on stems, but otherwise smooth. Long, nonglandular twig hair. Abaxial leaf surfaces nearly glabrous.
