Cotoneaster × Watereri
''Cotoneaster'' × ''watereri'', or Waterer's cotoneaster, is a large evergreen shrub belonging to the genus ''Cotoneaster''. It is an artificial hybrid, initially of ''Cotoneaster frigidus'', ''Cotoneaster henrianus'' and ''Cotoneaster salicifolius''. Later also ''Cotoneaster rugosus'' and ''Cotoneaster sargentii'' were probably involved. Description ''Cotoneaster'' × ''watereri'' is about 4 m tall, up to 8 m at maturity. Leaves are elliptical, dark green, up to 12 cm long and 3 cm wide. This plant shows large attractive inflorescences with white small flowers and large spherical coral red berries of about 6–9 mm. It is in flower from June to July.

Cotoneaster
''Cotoneaster'' is a genus of flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae, native to the Palaearctic region (temperate Asia, Europe, north Africa), with a strong concentration of diversity in the genus in the mountains of southwestern China and the Himalayas.Flora of China''Cotoneaster''(includes most of the world's ''Cotoneaster'' species) ''www.efloras.org'' They are related to hawthorns (''Crataegus''), firethorns (''Pyracantha''), photinias (''Photinia''), and rowans (''Sorbus''). Depending on the species definition used, between 70 and 300 different species of ''Cotoneaster'' are described, with many apomictic microspecies treated as species by some authors, but only as varieties by others.Bean, W. J. (1976). ''Trees and Shrubs Hardy in the British Isles'' 8th edition. John Murray . The majority of species are shrubs from tall, varying from ground-hugging prostrate plants to erect shrubs; a few, notably ''C. frigidus'', are small trees up to tall and trunk diamet ...

Cotoneaster Frigidus
''Cotoneaster frigidus'', the tree cotoneaster, is a species of flowering plant in the genus ''Cotoneaster'' of the family (biology), family Rosaceae, native plant, native to the Himalayas. It is a deciduous tree or shrub growing to , with smooth, matt, alternate leaves 6–12 cm long and 4–5 cm broad.Mitchell, A. F. (1974). ''A Field Guide to the Trees of Britain and Northern Europe''. Collins The creamy-white flowers are followed by masses of small, globose, red fruit (pomes) 5 mm diameter in autumn, persisting into winter or later if not eaten by birds. It is widely grown in parks and gardens in temperateness, temperate regions, and is commonly naturalisation (biology), naturalised as a result of bird-disperded seed in Great Britain and to a lesser extent in Ireland. It is one of the parents of the very popular garden shrub ''Cotoneaster × watereri''; this can be distinguished by its narrower, more lanceolate, slightly more glossy leaves with slightly grooved leaf veins, ...

Cotoneaster Salicifolius
''Cotoneaster salicifolius'', the willow-leaved cotoneaster, is a drought-tolerant, evergreen to semi-evergreen, low-lying, small to medium-sized shrub with an arched branching habit. Specimens growing in the wild, however, are generally larger, averaging five meters in height. Although native to the mountains, mixed forests, and open places in western China, it is commonly cultivated in temperate climates worldwide. Cultivars have been bred in a variety of forms, as ornamental groundcovers or shrubs. Description The bark of the willow-leaved cotoneaster is gray-brown, its stems are thin, and its root system is sparse. The leaves are alternate, simple, long, lanceolate, dark green and resemble those of willow trees (thus the common name), and have fine gray hairs on their undersides. The scientific name 'salicifolius', described by the botanist Franchet, means 'with leaves like willows' (see: Genus ''Salix''). During the colder months, they turn maroonish in color. In June ...

Rosaceae (), the rose family, is a family of flowering plants that includes 4,828 known species in 91 genera. The name is derived from the type genus ''Rosa''. The family includes herbs, shrubs, and trees. Most species are deciduous, but some are evergreen. They have a worldwide range but are most diverse in the Northern Hemisphere. Many economically important products come from the Rosaceae, including various edible fruits, such as apples, pears, quinces, apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, loquats, strawberries, rose hips, hawthorns, and almonds. The family also includes popular ornamental trees and shrubs, such as roses, meadowsweets, rowans, firethorns, and photinias. Among the most species-rich genera in the family are ''Alchemilla'' (270), ''Sorbus'' (260), ''Crataegus'' (260), ''Cotoneaster'' (260), ''Rubus'' (250), and ''Prunus'' (200), which contains the plums, cherries, peaches, apricots, and almonds.
