| History | Collected in the Mayodia Pass in India, at an elevation of 2200 meters. Cotoneasters berry better if they are near other clones of the same species. Since Monrovia is only growing one clone, it is yet unclear if this cultivar will produce berries. The fruit collected from the wild plant was orange. |
