Bearberry Cotoneaster (Cotoneaster dammeri 'Skogholm') - Description
Cotoneaster dammeri, the bearberry cotoneaster, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Cotoneaster, belonging to the Rosaceae family, native to central and southern China (Gansu, Guizhou, Hubei, Sichuan, Tibet and Yunnan) and naturalized in Europe.
Bearberry Cotoneaster (Cotoneaster dammeri 'Skogholm') - Blooming
Cotoneasters have white or pink flowers that bloom in the spring followed by red fruits in fall. Dwarf evergreens will fruit more vigorously if grown in full sun.
Bearberry Cotoneaster (Cotoneaster dammeri 'Skogholm') - Growth
Plants in this genus will range from 2-25 ft. tall. Evergreens do best in sun or partial shade, while deciduous species enjoy full sun. Grow Cotoneaster in a shrub border, as a screen or hedge, or trained against a wall. Dwarf species work best in rock gardens, and prostrate plants (C. cashmiriensis) make good groundcovers.
Bearberry Cotoneaster (Cotoneaster dammeri 'Skogholm') - Planting
Sow seeds as soon as ripe, in autumn, in a cold frame with containers. Cold frames are protective structures, located outside for propagating and growing plants. Can also propagate by rooting semi-ripe cuttings in late summer for the evergreen and semi-evergreen species. Semi-ripe cuttings are cuttings taken from semi-mature wood. In early summer, deciduous species can be propagated by rooting greenwood cuttings. Greenwood cuttings are taken from shoot-tips of plants, and are harder than softwood cuttings.

Slugs, snails, spider mites, and scale insects. Other problems include stem cankers, fire blight, and powdery mildew.
