Cotoneaster apiculatus (Cranberry Cotoneaster) is a superb low hedge formed by spreading branches that display an interesting herringbone pattern. It may also be considered a tall woody ornamental groundcover maturing at about 1.5′ tall by 5′ wide. Cotoneaster apiculatus produces small pink flowers in the spring and these are followed by large beautiful red berries that add color to brighten the winter landscape. Cotoneaster apiculatus is deciduous.
