Hi. Does anyone know what type of cotoneaster this is? I have narrowed it down to either willow leaved or coriaceus. But not sure. If it helps I think it is semi evergreen as it loses most but not all of its leaves over winter. It is very tall over 12ft and is multi stemmed with arching habit.

Also. Any ideas on how to restrict its size as I don’t want it to get much bigger but have heard that harder pruning can create lots of vigorous growth that take ages to weep again.

What about C. lacteus (parneyi)? How common are thy there? We have a bunch of them at work that are trained a lot like an umbrella. We trim them a couple of times during the Summer to keep them in shape. I’ll take some pictures on Monday and post them. Identification may be wrong, but you can use the shape as a guide.
