- Is Arbutus the name in Canada for Manzanita? How are Arbutus propagated?
The name Manzanita refers to Arctostaphylos columbiana (hairy manzanita). It hybridizes where their ranges overlap with Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (kinnikinnik). It is a low evergreen shrub found on dry sunny rocky spots with slightly acid soil on low elevations on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island and Oregon.
