                            Thank you @Balc, The plants on your balcony add colour to an otherwise plain view, I can't help thinking it would be rather monotonous without them :smile:

                            Thank you @Sheal The Cotoneaster is C. hybridus pendulus. I've written it in the post now. It's a standard tree and is grafted on to a dwarf root stock. The branches would sweep down to the ground if I let them. I usually cut them but maybe I'll let them grow next year.
                            I'll look for a photo of the whole plant to show you, they're on my other device.
