Cotoneaster Lacteus

ah not heard of this - I do love cotoneasters though

I wanted a tall evergreen Paul and they grow well around here - as tall as small trees I planted it last summer and its really taking off.

great stuff - I have a cotoneaster in middle of garden and down walls :):):)

They are lovely I have several to.

Why that adjective - "lacteus"?

Lacteus - 'of a shining white or milky color' I think it must relate to the creamy flowers?.

Maybe, but they all (I mean Contoneaster species) have white flowers.

You would have to asked the person who named it I guess Katarina?

I do not know that person. Lol. I thought you know.

:))

How is this shrub doing, please, one year on ?

Extremely well TT it has doubled in height and now touches 6ft.

Thanks .... is there a more up-to-date pic of this on GoY please amongst your photos ?

Not yet TT

Okay... thanks :o)
