Kidnaped Cotoneaster


The tree that was the most endearing to me had to be this little beauty that was affectionately called by may partner "Apple"


Cotoneaster "Coral Beauty" circa May '05

The tree was acquired from nursery stock in May '05 and initially styled. The tree was pretty much left unhindered for the remaining of the growing season with the exception of the odd pruning.
This tree had tremendous potential and was styled as a miniature apple tree.


In bloom circa June '06, tree height from the soil line 4 inches.

This little beauty was stolen in Oct '06, and yes it had it's berries on it, and resembled a miniature apple tree.

The sad part was that the tree is probably dead today, as I believe it was stolen by teenagers who did not have a clue what they had, let alone what to do with it.

This page is nonetheless posted in its memory.
