Cotoneaster frigidus, the tree cotoneaster, [1] is a species of flowering plant in the genus Cotoneaster of the family Rosaceae, native to the Himalayas. It is a deciduous tree or shrub growing to 10 metres (33 ft). White flowers are followed by masses of small, globose, red fruits ( pomes) in autumn, persisting into winter if not eaten by birds. [2] [3]
It is widely grown in parks and gardens in temperate regions. The more compact cultivar 'Cornubia' ( syn. C. × watereri 'Cornubia') has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It grows to 6 metres (20 ft). [4]
