Hi all,

Just wanted to first say a huge thank you to the community! I was nervous about posting and was super happy to see everyone's manzanitas.

But, going off some of the information and some recommendations, I'm now leaning towards ceanothus for my back hill. Full sun overhead, dry compacted clay soil, in Zone 9/9b in Sacramento. Hoping to get something that will grow pretty quickly and grow to at least 8 ft to provide some privacy over our 6ft fence.

So please--show me your ceanothus! Especially if you have Owlswood Blue or Frosty Blue.

I have a sunny, dry, compacted clay, steep slope and want to try some manzanitas (zone 9). Trying to decide between Dr. Hurd and Howard McMinn, but the sizing is throwing me for a loop. Ideally I'd like to block the view of the two story house behind us on the top of the hill.

If you have a manzanita, please post a pic and tell me the age and how much it grew per year? Or just your experience with manzanitas. Thanks!

Trying to register for the rally and saw there's a shuttle from 2420 Del Paso Rd. Does anyone know if this will be a special shuttle? Or are we supposed to use a bus stop somewhere? I don't work in Natomas but am willing to drive and park there to bus into downtown.
