Cotoneaster apiculatus, the cranberry cotoneaster, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae.[3][4] It is native to central China, and it has been introduced to various locales in Europe and the United States.[2] A rabbit-tolerant shrub reaching 3 ft (1 m) tall but spreading to 6 ft (2 m), and hardy in USDA zones 4 through 7, it is recommended for covering large areas.[5] It is good on streambanks and slopes where erosion control is desired, as its branches will grow roots where they touch soil.[5]
