Cotoneaster
Written By Marianna Marinda
From wide-spreading groundcovers to low-growing shrubs and hedge plants. These are attractive stiff woody plants, some of which are commonly used for bonsai… or can be trained into small weeping trees. Most of these have white flowers in spring and reddish berries after that.
