I'd say it was a Cotoneaster, but which, I'm not sure.

yep, I concure !!

Hmm, well, I don't think so based on the pictures. Those are not cotoneaster berries as I know them and the leaves seem to have a silvery reverse side. The cotoneaster that I know are green on both sides.

My cotoneaster is slowly turning just like the one above but my berries are much more clustered close into the branches so I'm not sure if it's cotoneaster either. Sorry to not be of more help.

To the doubters, remember that there are literally hundreds of species and hybrids in the genus Cotoneaster!

The clustered berries in branched cymes at the end of the shoots suggests Cotoneaster lacteus to me.

...or near hybrid of it.

Probably 'sown' by the birds so it could be any type of cotoneaster!

Thanks to you all, I`ve just remembered I bought it from Stone Cottage in Kidderminster so I am going to e-mail Louise and see if she recognises it.

Agree with Fractal - definitely Cotoneaster, probably lacteus or a variety of.

Just had a look at the site, which looks good though no Cotoneaster's listed. It doesn't change my mind though. Interesting to hear what you get back.

Haven`t heard from Louise yet Fractal which is unusual - however she may be away as they tend to take there holidays late November early December. Glad you looked at the site, it has some lovely little follies and features.

It looks very much like the Cotoneaster lacteus that I'm familiar with.

Better late than never, but only just found this question!! I looked it up in the RHS 'bible' and it looks like a cotoneaster Gnom or Lacteus. It looks as though yours has whitish felty covering on the underneath of the leaves so it's probably Lacteus. Annie
