Barbara:
Manzanita are lovely shrubs. I have seen them in nurseries in the
Sedona area. I wouldn't suggest digging one up. Below is the address
and phone number of the Gila County Cooperative Extension as well as the
e-mail address of Chris Jones, who is an agent at that office. I think
they could give you more information on the growing habits of the
manzanita and whether it could be taken to Spain without jeopardizing
the native plant population.

this may be a strange request. My mother lives in a region of Spain
with similar weather and altitude as the Payson/Strawberry area, and when
she visited me last she fell in love with the Manzanita bush, or is it
a tree? Anyway, she just purchased a large property and I would love
to bring her as a Christmas gift a small Manzanita bush that she can plant
there. Even though Spain doesn't have very strict laws about importation
of vegetation, I wouldn't want to bring in something that will spread some
kind of disease or kill the natural vegetation of the area. Does
anybody know if I'm safe in that way? Also, is there a place I can
purchase a small ("travel size") bush? Or if not, I was planning
to go up norh next weekend and try to look for a small one I can dig up.
I hope I'm not breaking any laws doing this. Do Manzanita bushes
have a tap root? That could make it difficult for me to dig one up.
Is there any easier way to propagate?</font></font><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>I
