Cotoneaster cochleatus, the Yunnan cotoneaster, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae.[2][3] It is native to rocky slopes in Tibet, Sichuan, and Yunnan in China, and it has been introduced to the United Kingdom, Belgium and New York State.[1] Its specific epithet cochleatus refers to its twisting stem.[4]
A drought-tolerant creeping shrub reaching 1 ft (0.3 m) tall but spreading to 6 ft (2 m), and hardy in USDA zones 5 through 7, it is considered a valuable landscaping plant by the Missouri Botanical Garden.[5] The Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International lists it in its Invasive Species Compendium.[6] With its small glossy leaves, tiny rose-like flowers, showy red fruit, and low growth habit, it has found use in bonsai.[5]
