Cotoneaster acutifolius var. lucidus (Schltdl.) L.T.Lu | |
Cotoneaster lucidus, the shiny cotoneaster,[2][3] or hedge cotoneaster, is a deciduous, medium-sized shrub with long, spreading branches reaching heights (and breadths) of 6' to 10'. It is native to parts of northern Asia, and adapted to tolerate colder weather (to zone 4).[4] C. lucidus was described in 1856 by Diederich Franz Leonhard von Schlechtendal. Some authorities consider it to be a synonym of Cotoneaster acutifolius, the Peking cotoneaster.[5]
