12L Cotoneaster frigidus Cornubia 1.5m

An evergreen tree that brings scale and seasonal abundance

The Cotoneaster frigidus ‘Cornubia’ is chosen for its strength of growth and the way it fills a space over time. It forms a broad, arching shape, offering structure through the year and a more generous presence than smaller varieties.

Once established, it becomes part of the garden’s framework. A tree that supports both planting around it and the wildlife that visits it.

Who this tree is for

This suits gardens with room for a larger, more established feature. It works well as a boundary tree or as part of a natural planting scheme where height and spread are needed.

It is often chosen by those looking to create a garden that feels settled and supportive of wildlife, rather than purely decorative.

Seasonal interest with purpose

In early summer, clusters of small white flowers appear across the branches, lightly covering the tree. These are followed by abundant red berries, which develop through autumn and remain well into winter.

The berries provide a valuable food source for birds at a time when little else is available, while the evergreen foliage maintains structure throughout the colder months.

Planting and care

Plant in a sunny or lightly shaded position with well-drained soil. It is a hardy and adaptable tree that establishes quickly and requires minimal maintenance once settled.

Allow space for it to grow into its natural form, where its arching branches and berry display can be fully appreciated.

It arrives established and ready to settle in, with ongoing guidance available through MyTree™ to support it as it grows.
