We love Peking Cotoneaster for its stunning fall color,
|
|
|
|
|
|
berries for the songbirds in winter, and attractive white flowers with glossy leaves in spring.

This large shrub, 6-10’ tall and wide,
|
|
|
|
|
|
is often used as a wind block and to provide a thicket to shelter small birds in winter from predators.

Peking Cotoneaster is also used to stabilize banks and prevent soil erosion,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and is very drought tolerant once established.
