Cotoneaster berries
A welcome red treat -
@emsquared
We have one in the alley, the bees adore it and drill into the buds before they even open. -
@MostlyTato It can get a bit invasive at times in the wrong place (we have a section of privet hedge that is now part cotoneaster. I just keep it trimmed & keep it in place as both the bees and the birds seem to enjoy it). Good stuff.

@emsquared
Yes, the alley one is wild, its had babies in the tarmac that I've rescued and potted on. I imagine its quite useful if its kept trimmed back. -
@MostlyTato Yes. One of those shrubs that a lot of UK local authorities seemed to love.
-
@MostlyTato But yes. Can make quite tough hedging if trimmed correctly. Not as anti-personnel as Pyracantha but a very hardy shrub that can do ground cover, standard shrub or hedging.
