A couple of cotoneaster

Post by Daluke »

Some pics of some Cotoneaster Microphylla I’m working on.

Two years old from seed and have had just been cut back to replace leaders and get taper.

Great material for smaller sized bonsai.
Just a question on the species name. Were these from seed purchased and labelled as microphylla?
I have what appears to be the same plant. Initially I also thought microphylla because of the very small leaves but someone else says C. damerii.
Does anyone know what differences to identify microphylla or damerii?

The seeds were collected from some labelled as macro.

I really don’t think there is much difference - although all I can tell is that the leaves of dammeri are slightly larger?

They are probably all the same or hybrids between.
