VALUE AND USE

SPECIES: Arctostaphylos columbiana | Hairy Manzanita
WOOD PRODUCTS VALUE : NO-ENTRY IMPORTANCE TO LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE : Black bear, coyote, black-tailed deer, and various small mammals and birds eat hairy manzanita fruit [3,21]. The leaves and stems are unpalatable to browsing wildlife and livestock [28]. Hummingbirds in British Columbia consume hairy manzanita nectar [25].

MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : Timber Management and Control: Hairy manzanita competes with young conifers in plantations and Christmas tree farms [20,32]. It is highly susceptible to aerosol application of 2,4-D or 2,4,5-T, which results in nearly 100 percent kill in the Pacific Northwest [31]. Gratkowski [10] reported 2,4,5-T as slightly more effective in southwest Oregon. Cultivation: Hairy manzanita is propagated from stem cuttings [21].
