Gardening expert Ciscoe Morris showcases the Manzanita tree this week, a beautiful tree that is also drought-tolerant. In fact, Ciscoe says watering it is the quickest way to kill it, making it an easy to care for plant with Washington's increasingly dry summers. Well-drained soil is necessary if planted in areas with heavy rain.
If you're looking to fill some space in your garden with a hearty plant that will grow with little maintenance, a Manzanita is for you!
