Expert Response
Thank you for your question.
Kinnikkinnick can be susceptible to a leaf gall that can cause these distorted leaves. Here is some information from the Pacific Northwest Plant Disease Management Handbook - https://pnwhandbooks.org/plantdisease/host-disease/kinnikinnick-arctostaphylos-uva-ursi-leaf-gall
Please take a look at the recommended cultural controls. You should remove and dispose of all fleshy leaves and flowers before white fungal spores appear.
