COTONEASTER HYBRIDA PENDULA

A small evergreen garden tree, Cotoneaster 'Hybridus Pendulus' has long weeping branches that arch down to create a dome effect. The polished, dark green leaves are small and make a good foil for the white flowers that flourish in June-July and are popular amongst the bee population. Clusters of colourful red berries cover the tree in autumn and provide yet more food for wildlife through winter, particularly birds including Waxwings.

Cotoneaster 'Hybridus Pendulus' will grow to just 2 x 1 metres in 20 years and can also be grown in a pot given the correct care. This evergreen weeping Cotoneaster tolerates most conditions and soil types, growing particularly well in sun or semi-shade.
