Trees of London
Lincoln's Inn Fields
Cotoneaster
previous tree
Like the Conelian cherry tree, the Cotoneaster is more a bush than a tree. Nevertheless it appears so frequently in London that it is worth knowing about. Its most striking feature is its clusters of very small read berries which appear in autumn and remain for most of the winter. It is often seen occupying space between larger trees beside the outer railings of the London squares.
