Question
Good evening. I'm hoping you can identify this shrub (there are 5 total) in the yard of a house in Worcester that we are rehabbing. The shrubs are about 4 feet tall, but could get taller. I have been trimming them. The flowers are small. The leaves are at most an inch long. Thank you!
Answer
Dear Lisabailey, your plant looks like a species of Cotoneaster (a woody member of the rose family). Specifically, it looks like Cotoneaster lucidus (hedge cotoneaster), which is native to Asia. Best wishes.
