    I have seen it growing, and absolutely smothered in bees, but cannot find a supplier in NZ. Can anyone help?

    HI Joy, these exotic Cotoneaster are extremely weedy and because they have fruit and are bird dispersed the seedling pop up everywhere. You could grow the native Corokia cotoneaster instead which is also very popular with bees and birds. http://www.nzpcn.org.nz/flora_details.aspx?ID=1756

    I fully concur, having spent much time in efforts to eradicate one sp from a local park, close to suburbia!
