Cotoneaster divaricatus, the spreading cotoneaster, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae.[2][3] It is native to China, and has been introduced to Ontario in Canada, the Midwest United States, northern and central Europe, Kenya, and the South Island of New Zealand.[1] A shrub reaching 1.8 m (6 ft) tall but spreading to 2.4 m (8 ft), and hardy in USDA zones 4 through 7, it is considered a valuable landscaping plant by the Missouri Botanical Garden.[2] The Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International lists it in its Invasive Species Compendium.[4]
