Cotoneaster franchetii (Franchet's Cotoneaster) is a species of Cotoneaster native to southwestern China, in the provinces of Guizhou, Sichuan, Xizang, and Yunnan, and also in adjacent northern Myanmar and northern Thailand.
It is an evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub growing to 3 m tall and can produce a beautiful hedge.(12-18 inches apart). The leaves are oval-acute, 2–3.5cm long and 1–1.5 cm broad, shiny green above, pubescent below with dense whitish to yellowish hairs. The flowers are produced in corymbs of 5–15 together, each flower 6–7 mm diameter, with the five petals pink on the outer side, white on the inner side. The fruit is a red pome 6–9 mm diameter; they are eaten by fruit-eating birds, which disperse the seeds in their droppings.
