Hallo,
mit Sträuchern stehe ich noch etwas auf Kriegsfuß.
Dieser hier ist etwa 3 m hoch, hat wechselständige Blätter und diese markant geformten Früchte. Da im Kurpark fotografiert, ist die Herkunft nicht bekannt. Leider kein Schildchen dran.
Gruß Frank
Strauch mit roten Früchten ---> Cotoneaster bullatus ? / C. franchetti ?

Hi Dirk,
as mentioned above, I still have some problems with shrubs.
But if I compare the descriptions in Roloff/Bärtels of both plants
I am not really sure what it is.
The surface of the leaves is maybe more like C. franchetii, but
the leaves were about 6 cm long. In the R/B they say 2-3 cm only.
C. bullatus 4-8 cm.
I will look for more material asap. Maybe it is another Cotoneaster.

Hi again,
I'm pretty sure I still have more problems with shrubs than you have, Frank. However, any person choosing not to ignore Cotoneasters seems to have problems, because it is a difficult genus (amongs others, with species escaping from gardens that are not included in keys).
Bullatus is supposed to be very remeniscent of Cotoneaster rehderi, which has lateral veins not reaching leaf margin, but instead bending backwards and joining each other, a feature not present in your pictures.
I suppose you have found the larger leaves on sterile branches. I have seen for myself that on non-flowering branches of C. franchetii, leaves can be larger than 4 cm, however, 6 cm seems too much. A species rather looking like franchetii is Cotoneaster sternianus, however, in your pictures, leaf and berry shape seem wrong to me for sternianus. Some pictures of C. sternianus can be found here:

More information on sternianus vs. franchetii can be found here: http://alienplantsbelgium.be/content/co ... ernianus-0
A (preliminary) key for Cotoneaster in the Belgian flora can be found here:

So maybe yours is one of the rarer (cultivated) species.
Best regards, Dirk.
