Yes, my name really is Mary and I've been selling on eBay since 2003, under another ID, with a consistent 100% feedback. I have decided to start Manzanita Mary to exclusively offer all types of beautiful manzanita for your needs.
We have 100's of beautiful, full Manzanita trees on our east Shasta County property in Northern California. These trees are full and thriving with branches of deep "Marsala" red bark.  "Marsala" is the '2015 Color of the Year". It is a creamy wine hue, not as dramatic as oxblood or even burgundy, it’s an all-seasons wine color.
When you place an order, we will harvest the branches and trim the leaves off. Then carefully pack them.
PLEASE NOTE:
After you order, I will send an email asking you what you plan to put or hang on the branches. This helps me select the best branches for your needs.
This listing is for SIX trimmed branches, ranging in height from 20" to 24". We try to select branches that have multiple smaller branches with fullness. You can always trim off some of the smaller branches to fit your design. I've included a couple photos of vertical manzanita centerpieces to inspire you.
Be sure to unpack your manzanita branches and cut the string soon after they arrive so they will regain their natural shape after shipping. Freshly harvested manzanita branches are quite flexible, but will harden after a couple of months, giving you the strength to hang or attach just about anything on the strong branches..
Characteristics of Natural Red Manzanita:
Shape: shapes vary with each piece, harvest area, and time of year. Manzanita can typically grow wide and flat rather than symmetrically, although we try to always ship more symmetrical pieces..
Branches: branches can vary greatly in diameter with each piece.
Size: sizes are approximate and vary with each piece, harvest area, and time of year.
Bark: color and condition of the bark will vary with each season, harvest area and time of year. Spring through Summer (six month period), Manzanita bark will regenerate and peeling will take place. To remove loose or peeling bark, use a soft brush. For stubborn areas, use a light wire brush.
Age: Manzanita branches will last indefinitely. Cracks and splits will occur as the wood naturally cures, however this will not cause them to break in half, fall apart, etc. Using the floral paint mentioned above to add color into the spliting areas makes them practically non-noticeable.
Leaves: leaves are manually removed.
Helpful Manzanita Branch Tips. When purchasing real Manzanita branches, please keep in mind:
All branches are natural, each will be unique and different in size, thickness, etc. Size and width with vary.
Generally, the larger the branch, the more offshoot branches you will receive.
We cannot control the number of offshoot branches from each main Manzanita branch.
Buy Manzanita branches before you buy your containers or vases so you know exactly what size vase, wooden box, or display container you will need.
All sales on real Manzanita branches are final, we cannot do returns or exchanges on this item due to its natural beauty. I accept Paypal with payment within 5 days.
