Where I collect manzanita driftwood

Really cool stuff! Here in The Netherlands we don't have many places to find usable stuff for your aquarium. Let alone huge gorgeous pieces of wood. Beautiful!
 
Not sure on age, but I'd guess the larger older ones might be in the 20-30 year range. Leaves live about 4-5 years on most species in the genus. It will invade a post high intensity fire region really fast and you see lots of very dense stands. Poor soil, bad soil for pine trees, then even more so.
It's a brush weed for most areas in the area here. Not some desirable species. Hunter's like it because the deer can be seen since the brush is less dense than pine forest and you can get a decent shot from a distance. It's a fire hazard for many property owners here.

Dero, California, USA. Home of the oldest, tallest and biggest trees in the world.
