| The Cranberry Cotoneaster has many of the same traits as the Rockspray, but at maturity is a slightly taller shrub, with branching that is a bit less dense. This reduced density is likely the reason this plant is known as a "garbage collector", because it seems to ensnare just about anything that comes it's way; getting trapped debris loose from the plant is not always an easy matter. Dark pink buds give way to white flowers in May, and the foliage, though lustrous, is not as glossy as Rockspray. Foliage offers nice color changes in fall, with green turning to reds and burgundies. |
