Wonderful little shrub that makes a phenomenal bonsai specimen. The leaves are only about 1/8 to 3/16 inch long, and they are a lot close...Read Morer to 1/16 to 3/32 wide. Tiny tiny leaves, that are packed onto the branches...and cuttings root fairly easily. So I can have one that I can train as a "tree", or I can train one to look like a bush/shrub near a dwarf conifer or Japanese Maple to give a pretty awesome overall presentation. The only problems I've seen is that because of their size, they are a little more sensitive to dry conditions than other Cotoneasters, and that they are so small that they would probably not make a very good yard shrub, because they might get lost under a large oak or maple leaf.
Finally identified this "Must Have" for my garden in Puyallup, WA 98374. It grows freely in Mossyrock, WA 98585 at an RV park we stay...Read More at. Beautiful sculptural arching branches. There is a herringbone quality to the branch pattern. Will dig up a sprig from Mossyrock & plant in Puyallup.
