Orange Berried Cotoneaster Hedging

Cotoneast franchetii - Orange Berried Cotoneaster Shrubs

Cotoneaster franchetii is a lovely near-evergreen shrub, ideal for hedging. It has pale pink flowers in the spring, followed by masses of decorative orange berries in autumn. Its neat green foliage clips beautifully, so you can keep it looking tidy without any fuss.
Your plants will usually keep their leaves for most of the winter, but early snows or hard frost will cause them to drop their leaves. This is normal in harsh conditions and doesn't hurt the plants. 

Bareroot plants are for winter delivery, pot-grown plants are there for you to buy during the rest of the year.
It can be planted in a mixed hedge with the Red Berried Cotoneaster Simsonii for a bit more colour.

Growing a Cotoneaster Hedge
Cotoneaster is happy in most soils, including chalk, and it doesn't mind a bit of shade. It likes a heavy clay soil, as long as it is not prone to waterlogging in winter. Trim your plants in winter, after the berries have fallen. For hedges to 2m.
Spacing: Plant at 3 per metre.

Cotoneast franchetii is a Chinese plant that was brought to Europe in 1895 by the French Abbot Souli.

Delivery: The basic delivery charge for orders of bareroot plants is £9.49 + vat, which increases to £12.55 + vat if you add any pot-grown plants, standard trees or fruit trees to the order.
Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
You can choose the delivery week that suits you during checkout and we will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.
