Peking Cotoneaster / Cotoneaster acutifolia


This woody shrub was introduced from Asia and can be found everywhere, either individually or planted as a hedge. It readily escapes from gardens and can now be found in many of our natural areas, unfortunately. Beautiful to look at, but it is preventing our native plants from growing. This shrub should not be being sold at Garden Centres. Photographed in north Weaselhead on 15 June 2011, during a botany walk. I have added a previously posted photo of Cotoneaster in the fall, with berries, in a comment box below.

Up till about 10 days ago, I had a short length of Cotoneaster hedge in my back yard. It had grown out of control to a few feet above the height of my fence and, unfortunately, I just wasn't able to cut it myself. It has now been not only cut right down but completely removed, for which I am so thankful.
