Late Cotoneaster (Cotoneaster coriaceus)

Cotoneaster coriaceus, the late cotoneaster or milkflower cotoneaster, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to Tibet and south-central China. It is a large evergreen shrub growing to 4 m (13 ft) tall and wide. Clusters of white flowers are followed by masses of small, globose, red fruits (pomes) in autumn. Unusually for this genus, the fruits are avoided by birds, hence garden escapes are rare, and the fruit persists on the plant throughout the winter.
