Peking Cotoneaster is a very invasive shrub, causing damage in all our parks. Unfortunately, the brilliant red leaves do look beautiful, especially here, where we don't have the amazing red Maple leaves which are seen out east. This particular shrub was growing at the Reader Rock Garden.

"Introduced from Asia. A woody shrub, abundantly planted, individually or as a hedge, readily escaping into the wild. Stems, shrub, 1-3m tall. Leaves, alternate; small, oval, blunt pointed; turn brilliant red in autumn. Flowers, small, white; ........... Fruit, black berries, about 1cm across. Habitat: wooded areas, river banks, sunny slopes." From talkaboutwildlife.ca.
