Re: Corokia cotoneaster

Its name really is Corokia cotoneaster. It's not a Cotoneaster at
all. It has strange zig-zag branches, and is not very hardy, zone 8
or 9, I think. I found it in a nursery labeled Cotoneaster corokia
and it confused me for months until people on the Alpine-L mailing
list helped out.
