May Appeal 2026
Please help keep TSO growing!
IDS Trees and Shrubs Online has become a fundamental source of reliable information about cultivated woody plants, freely available to everyone, everywhere. We hope you find it useful.
For the first time we are asking our users if you could support us.
If everyone who uses TSO during May 2026 gives just £10, we would cover our costs for a whole year, enabling us to accelerate our work.

A vigorous evergreen shrub 10 ft or more high, of graceful habit; young shoots covered with fluffy grey down. Leaves narrowly oval, tapering about equally at both ends to a sharp point; 3⁄4 to 21⁄2 in. long, 3⁄8 to 1 in. wide; dark dull green above, covered beneath with a thick, grey-white felt. Flowers 1⁄4 in. wide, white, with rose-coloured anthers, produced towards the end of July in hemispherical corymbs 11⁄2 to 21⁄2 in. across; flower-stalks and calyx covered with grey wool; petals round; calyx-lobes triangular-acuminate. Fruit pear-shaped, 1⁄4 in. long, deep red, downy, ripe in October. Bot. Mag., t. 8546.
Native of China; introduced to Kew in 1910 from de Vilmorin’s collection at Les Barres. It is apparently perfectly hardy, and of rapid growth, remarkable and valuable among cotoneasters in flowering so late – six or eight weeks later than the majority, and a month later than any.
