I bought two of these recently because I like the bark and leaves on them but I have never grown them.
Questions....
How do they repot? What are their soil requirements? Anything else I should be aware of?

Manzanitas

see the wikipedia entry for this species

Native to Sonoma County California.

Very rare only a dozen or so plants known to remain in the wild. Local habitat is chaparral with sandy shale derived soils.

You might want to contact the California Native Plant Society as they bought one piece of property for the sole purpose of preserving habitat for half a dozen of this species of Manzanitas. The Society has members that know more about Manzanita horticulture than anyone on BNut would.
