Some manzanita in the wild

I was up in the Cleveland National Forest today, and snapped this picture of manzanita in the wild. It only grows around here at 3000' elevation or higher. But when it grows, boy does it grow!

Yep, in the right conditions it grows like a weed. My parent's old house in Redding backed up to a ravine that was full of the stuff.

Funny that it can spread so aggressively, and yet be difficult to transplant.
