Cotoneaster Winter Jewel

Masses of glossy, dark green foliage and showy Winter berries make this weeping standard tree an outstanding addition to structural garden displays. Cotoneaster Winter Jewel is grafted onto a clear central stem, its branches arching downwards into a neat, weeping canopy that becomes studded in late Spring and early Summer with tiny, pink-tinged white blooms. As Autumn approaches, these flowers give way to a prolific display of bright, waxy crimson berries that persist right through the Winter, attracting wild birds to the garden. In colder months, the small, polished leaves take on an attractive bronze or purplish flush, offering reliable year-round interest in borders, rockeries, or containers.
