Cotoneaster cornubia

Wow, what a lovely tree. Can understand people passing commenting on it. I love the berries.

Yes, I think these standard Cotoneasters make a lovely specimen in a garden. And, although it's nice to see the berries it's also good that the birds eat them.

Thank you Hywel for all the lovely pics. Its taller than it looks on some of your blogs, I was quite surprised! You did well to move it successfully - shame about the berries but Paul's right, its nice for the birds! I haven't seen a photo of one in flower before, its lovely isn't it? How long have you had it?

Thank you all :)

I've had it about 25 years Sue ...
It's about 5 feet tall I think ? I'll measure it next time I go down the garden.
I bought it in a little local nursery, which has closed down now.

that is a lovely specimen and you did well to move it and get it to survive.

That's a very impressive specimen you have there, Hywel!

No wonder you said I have room for one Hywel - I'd no idea you could get them on dwarfing stock, I'd only seen full sized street trees before.

Thank you all :)

Actually I've never seen the full sized ones. I thought they were all small :D lol

Wow thats really lovely Hywel and you have kept a lovely shape to it, I agree its a beauty in the springtime but it looks very striking with all its berries....

Yours is lovely Hywel, ours had to be moved it was a 50/50 chance thing but it was in the way
The top died but the rootstock has made a lovely bush full of flowers and berries

Beautiful little "tree" Hywel. It looks lovely when it blooms too .
Your back area looks so lush, lots going on there.

Thank you all :)

If I lived near you I would walk up that lane to enjoy all the seasons changes. I do not see how I could choose a single favourite as each adds more joy and knowing the birds benefit when they need it makes it just perfect. Like Stera I only know of the full size tree, I did not realise they graft cotoneasters.

Thank you :)
