Restoring San Francisco's Lost Manzanita: Science on the SPOT
Ғылым және технология
With their reddish bark and bell-shaped flowers, manzanitas are California's iconic plants, adapted to the state's many ecosystems. One of the two manzanitas that grew exclusively in San Francisco's foggy climate, the Franciscana, was thought to have gone extinct in the wild until it was rediscovered in 2009. QUEST explores how the San Francisco Botanical Garden is toiling to give one of the city's rarest native plants a second chance.

What unbelievable luck and great work involved in this plant still existing
Original and healthiest skin of the earth... Nice 👍
What an interesting video, I love manzanita trees, I hope to own one someday 😊
Thank you!
There are 5 or 6 species of Manzanita native to Utah, not just 2 or 3. Still an amazing video, and I hope they can restore native stands of this species!
1980's in San Francisco was awesome!!
Such an interesting video on such valuable work!
Bravo 👏
what time of year was it dug up? also for the cuttings
Will it ever be available to the public through propagation

It is now available in some native plant nurseries, both descendants of the remaining one in the wild and descendants of those once located elsewhere in SF.
I love mazanita. I have 4 trees in my yard.

How do you take care of your manzanita trees? , I recently bought an empty lot and there's a dying manzanita tree there, I'd love to save it

@@jennunez7494 the trees only live for 20 years then die.
Alameda street, off Potrero has a cliff of serpentine. I wish they put some manzanita there
I’m trying to grow a mountain manzanita in Michigan from seed.
Could you sell me some?
