A tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Available from November to March. The roots are more open and the direct contact with the soil encourages them to settle in and establish more readily.
These are 2yr old trees that have been grown 1yr in the field and the second in a pot. Container trees can be planted at any time of the year but establish best when planted during the autumn and need to be watered well during the first summer.
Cotoneaster are popular for their year round interest including attractive white flowers and bright winter berries. Varying from evergreen, semi-evergreen and deciduous, many species provide beautiful autumn colour.
Cotoneaster are versatile plants which range from small trees to ground hugging shrubs, which are great for supressing weeds. These wildlife friendly trees attract pollinators throughout the summer whilst the succeeding berries feed the birds.
Best planted in full sun or partial shade. They thrive in fertile soils but will tolerate any soil as long as it’s well-drained. Cotoneaster are easy to grow and require minimal pruning which can be done throughout the year.
