Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Unlike the average, creeping, crawling, ankle- or knee-high cotoneasters, here's something totally different! So big, that it can be trained up over an arbor or a Pergola! Yeh, that big! Branches may reach 18' in length. (Not 18 inches but 18 feet!) So, everything about the Genus is about the same, berries and all that, so you just have to rethink how in the world you might use such a magnificent thing.
