| Cotoneaster |
Cotoneaster 'John Waterer' - this vigorous semi-evergreen shrub is a magnet for Field Fares and Redwings
during the winter - they love the berries. Most years it is absolutely smothered in them, but this year there aren't as many, possibly because it was pruned quite heavily last year. It has grown to about 15ft. high and is really more like a tree - come next Spring every last berry will have been eaten. From the bedroom window I can watch Blackbirds gulping them down like there's no tomorrow. Next year some drastic action, in the form of cutting off branches, will have to be done, as it is beginning to get too big for its boots.
