You guys know everything, so probably you can help. I just spotted in Warsaw great winterhedge. Trimmed nicely and full of red berries. Maybe you know what plant is it?
Oh, this hedge is so pretty with the red berries. I wonder how long the berries will last after the birds find it? I am not sure what the plants are since it is in Europe and not North America, but it sure is lovely for this time of year.
Ewa .. I am sorry I don't know what that hedge is but I loved seeing all of those gorgeous red berries ! Fingers crossed that some one will ID it for you .. note to self to come back and find out what it is ! Joy : )
It looks like either cotoneaster of pyracantha. Pyracantha has spikes on it. Both are evergreen and have these lovely red berries in winter. There's a photo of the pyracantha in our garden here: http://olives-and-artichokes.blogspot.com/2009/11/clearing-away-summer.html
Ewa, This looks like Pyracantha to me. Do the branches have thorns? (Pyracantha means "fire thorn"). The berries are actually pomes -- this is a member of the huge rose family.
I've been waiting all day for someone to give you an answer... but alas...no avail. I'm leaning towards a variety of pyracantha due to the berries and leaf shape, yet it has me bumfuzzled for I see no thorns.
Thank you guys for trying, answering some doubts, this is not pyracantha - amount of red berried could suggest that, but it doesn't have thorns and also berries form loose gropus, not semi-horizontal clusters. Also leaves of pyracantha look different. It might be cotoneaster, but which one? I haven't seen a winterhedge so red with berries - this is such curiosity to me. Maybe I will have to come back in the summer and see more of it.
I'm going with a cotoneaster too; possibly franchetii, just because it's apparently semi-evergreen, but I'm not good with all the myriad species. Interesting and handsome.
I have a cotoneaster in my garden that really resembles this one: lots of berries, and looses it's leaves in fall. rather tall leaves (at least for a cotoneaster) too. Unfortunately, I don't know it's name: it is one of those uninvited (but welcome) guests in my garden that started their lives as a birds' dropping seedling.

Hi Ewa,
ReplyDeleteit looks like cotoneaster. Now which sort ? Franchetii or lacteus ? maybe the first. It's a very easy-going shrub.

Looks like a cotoneaster conubia to me. I just saw a picture of it on my computer.

ReplyDeleteMy guess is that this is a Sorbus intermedia.
ReplyDeleteAnd the birds don't like these berries?

Some kind of viburnum?
