Cotoneaster cornubia 9.5L

Cotoneaster 'Cornubia' is a large, semi-evergreen cotoneaster often grown as a small tree, valued for its graceful, arching framework of dark green leaves, clusters of small white flowers in early summer, and abundant bright red berries that follow in autumn and often persist into winter, providing seasonal colour and food for birds. It does well in sun or light shade and is adaptable to most fertile, well‑drained soils, including chalk. In Irish gardens it is a reliable, hardy choice for screening, a specimen feature, or as a wildlife-friendly focal point, with the potential to reach over 5m at maturity.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
