    COTONEASTER

    Vast selection of easy-to-grow shrubs ranging from prostrate ground huggers to the magnificent "Cornubia" and frigidus with yellow or red berries.

    Genus of more than 400 species of deciduous, semi-evergreen and evergreen shrubs and trees from woodland and rocky areas in northern temperate regions of Europe, Asia and northern Africa.

    A UK (Wales) native, the critically endangered C. cambricus, Creigafal y Gogarth, "rock apple of Gogarth (Great Orme)", is at present struggling for existence at Great Orme, Conwy.

    Very useful as a source of nectar for bees in the "June gap", but, except for the above, non-native and invasive.
