One of my cotos suffered badly from the heat and drought, I lost two small ones that were in training, but this one was slip-potted in a larger pot and kept in the shade. The birds didn't even eat the fruit ! I'll post a better picture when the Autumn colours show :

Cotoneaster over rock is a very long term project as they bulk up so slowly. Here's one from seed that I've been adjusting the length of the branches on, especially the lowest. The best bit of this tree is in Autumn, it gets lovely colours.

Love seeing all these cotoneasters! Will be looking to pick one up in the near future. Possibly over the weekend at the open house at Bill Valvanis nursery.

Repotted this guy 10 days ago, it was looking a little rough and sparse after winter. Since then it’s erupted in new growth and has loads of flower buds. I’ll take an update photo once they start opening.
As repotted last Sunday
