Description

These are deciduous, semi-evergreen or evergreen shrubs and trees. Most have good autumn colour. They have a dense spreading habit and will produce red-berries. They are fully to frost hardy and will prefer full sun, but the evergreens will do well in either sun or semi-shade. You can propagate the species by cuttings in the summer or by seeds in the autumn. Hybrids and cultivars are propagated by cuttings only in the summer. Watch out for fireblight which is a common problem.

This is also known as C. 'Skogsholmen'. Small, oval, glossy dark green leaves are produced. Small, white flowers are borne in early summer, followed by sparse, round red fruits.
