Callicarpa is perhaps not wildly exciting, but it makes a change from the more usual barberries and cotoneasters and gives some colour in November and December, also looks pretty in a glass under an electric lamp. #gardening

Well, that was exciting and terrifying in equal measure. Thanks so much to @bsbibotany.bsky.social for having me along tonight to talk Cotoneasters as part of their fab skills webinar series 😁🔎

Pleased to share this little 'amateur guide' to the various alien #cotoneasters to be found in Newcastle and North Tyneside.

Still many more to be found, I am sure! #botany

A few alien cotoneasters from today's wander in Newcastle with Willow-leaved (C. salicifolius), Bullate (C. rehderi) and Stern's (C. sternianus). All three seem horribly under-recorded up here! 🌱🔎

The many cotoneasters and berberis have no objection to shade, and are less persnickety as to soil. Daphne laureola will thrive; and so will Viburnum burkwoodii, very easy and sweet scented, making a big bush. #gardening

I don't have any tats or little pretty pants but I've just dug out 7 cotoneasters with a spade and matlock so I think I win actually Mr Tate. #dying

in a pale moment
on a path through the city park
to settle slowly to the ground
by the snowberry and cotoneasters
misting white and red
with berries, lit
by base and artificial light
which, recall,
is borrowed starlight
still falling in a billion lumens

Cotoneaster horizontalis, perhaps the easiest of the cotoneasters to identify, introduced from W. China by Père David in about 1870. The herringbone pattern of its spreading branches is characteristic. The berries persist well into winter.

Fantastic "new build" garden...the large cotoneasters(?) were a hefty price, but worth it for some instant privacy. #gardenersworld

As all Friends group know cotoneaster is another bush that thrives if not kept in check. We are trying to tackle some of the larger cotoneasters which are damaging headstones & kerbs.
Danielle, Pete & Steph certainly had their work cut out on this grave. Pete excavated the entire root ball!
