    I'm hoping to find some hairy manzanita or other manzanita trees in my area. I'm planning on collecting a couple downed branches for a terrarium. Does anyone know of a local population near vancouver, WA? I'm okay with a bit of a drive. Pacific madrone might work as well if anyone has info. Thanks in advance

    I used to visit my mother in Vancouver, WA; and I expect that Manzanitas and Madrones can be found in most locations with the right habitat: steep, sunny, rocky slopes, west of the Cascade crest. I can't remember any specific places, but both plants were quite common in that area.

    Thanks vitog, a few places come to mind that may have the right conditions. Are you familiar with beacon rock near the washougal area?

    Same thing I was going to say, but I couldn't get logged in.
