In the case of the Franciscan manzanita, there is cause for hopeful optimism. The conservation plan developed shortly after the plant was discovered is being implemented. Thus far, the plant is thriving in its new location, growing, blooming and setting seeds as a dedicated team continues to monitor its health. The species is currently being considered for listing under the federal Endangered Species Act. Date: 3 May 2011, 13:21. Source: Franciscan Manzanita fruit.
