Larry, are you sure that's a cotoneaster? Looks like a viburnum. The leaves seem so large. I've never seen one like that... but I guess I haven't seem them ALL! :lol:

Just checking! ^_^

I was going to say!! It seems most of the pictures I've seen of various contoneasters show very small leaves and many types are prostrate "trailers", though I suppose there may be some upright tree types with larger leaves??

Yes its a tree cotoneaster, only a few have small leaves, and our native Cotoneaster is a tree also.

Thanks for setting me straight, Larry, as I've never seen one like that. Very gorgeous, may I add. :wub:
