Adenostoma

Adenostoma is a genus of shrubs containing only two species. Both species are native to coastal California and Baja California. Both species in this genus feature stiff, linear leaves arranged alternately or in clusters along stems with shredding bark. Flowers form on a panicle, are cream to white and, as in all members of the rose family, have hypanthia.

Water: Adenostoma is drought-tolerant, thriving in arid environments. It requires moderate watering, approximately once every 2-3 weeks, with deep watering to mimic natural rainfall. Its root system is adapted for infrequent water absorption, making it ideal for xeric landscapes.

Propagation: Adenostoma can be propagated via seeds or cuttings. Key techniques include seed stratification for dormancy breaking and using rooting hormone for cuttings. Ensure well-draining soil, moderate temperatures, and adequate light. Manage root rot risks and maintain consistent moisture for successful propagation.
