The Cotoneaster apiculatus Cranberry Cotoneaster is a versatile shrub that can cover large areas and is effective for erosion control on banks or slopes. With its red, cranberry-like berries that mature in late summer and persist into winter, this plant provides a pop of color, while its leaves turn attractive shades of purple, red, and bronze in autumn. This shrub is also great for use as a foundation plant or low informal hedge. Dense and broad-upright, it grows up to 3 feet tall with a spread to 6 feet and has stiffly arching branches. Its small pinkish flowers in late spring give way to the vibrant red berries that are both attractive and functional. Planting density per acre ranges from 700 to 1200 and the shrub requires a medium amount of moisture. With its rapid growth rate and moderate lifespan, this plant is perfect for those looking for a low-maintenance, yet beautiful addition to their landscape.
