Cotoneaster integrifolius

Cotoneaster integrifolius is a species of plant. It is a low growing shrub. It has been grown as ornamental plants in gardens and public rock gardens. It has been introduced to Ireland, but has become neutralised. It produces a red berry-like pome fruit. The fruits are an important food source for birds that disperse the seeds in their droppings. They are sometimes grown as a hedge for home security.
