Dubbed, "Little Apple" by early Spanish settlers the Manzanita looks like it would be more at home in the Australian outback or the Serengeti with its dramatic red-bark. The Manzanita is this month's tree due to it providing an important food source for wildlife in the Sierra Nevada's and other western Biomes. It also is a green option for the backyard Eco-warrior for it is amazingly drought tolerant. For the extra intrepid hippie its tiny fruit can be dried, ground and turned into a very primitive meal.
