Best Cotoneaster Control method? #891778

Asked January 21, 2025, 1:50 PM EST

Hi, I am a student at Mt. Hood community college and I am working on a presentation on invasive plant species. I was wondering if you have any information on what the best control or treatments are for the Invasive Cotoneaster in the Rosaceae family? I also welcome any other fun or interesting information on the Cotoneaster species you may have. I appreciate your time and response. Thank you very much.
