No, I don't think it is pyracantha ... is it thorny?

Not thorny the stalks/twigs themselves are pretty spikey though... the fruit has a matt finish if that helps....Comment

p.s. the birds don't seem interested..... maybe I feed them too well....Comment

pyracatha is aka fire thorn, so it's not one of them then.
i still think cotoneaster... you could google itAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

Yes, I agree with Two Sheds, it does look like cotoneaster. A good beginning is half the work.

It does look like its related! Though I haven't found an exact match it has to be in the family! Thanks very much - apparently good for taking cuttings and for beginner bonzai trees.Comment

Cotoneaster!Comment

Totally the wrong colour berries for either pyracantha(firethorn) or cotoneaster. Unless the colour is totally off, my guess would be callicarpa.Comment
-
All the callicarpa I can find pictures of has much bigger leaves, these are teardrop shaped leaves with the broad end away from the stem, the berries are about redcurrant sized ( a little bigger than a smilie
) but are pinker side of red and matt not shiny, here is the closest I could get reasonable focus, colour is pretty close to true...

Looks like a Pyracantha to me, but I do not know which one.
Does it have thorns??
If not then it could be a Cotoneaster buxifolius, especially if it has a fan shape to the branches.Last edited by WrexTheDragon; 23-09-2009, 08:59 PM.Comment

I'm sure it's a cotoneaster. There are lots of different ones. It's an upright one. (Unlike me!)Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.
