what's this?

It's climbing on a stone wall in a thoughtfully-designed garden.

Pyrocanthus?

[42itous.livejournal.com]

Maybe. On the one hand, Pyrocanthus seems to grow its berries in bunches of berries that share a stem off the branch, whereas this seems to be growing one berry at a time close to the branch... on the other hand, there does seem to be a lot of variation, so this could still be it.

It looks somewhat quince-like, to me...

Quince has the fruit positioned on the branch like this, but... well what do I know? It could be.

Is it holly?

[42itous.livejournal.com]

I thought of that, but I can't find any holly variants that have round leaves like this.

You can try the 'like that garden' app if LJ fails you.

Hmm, I didn't know about that. Can I use it on my laptop? My phone is having memory issues, so I don't want to add new apps to it.

Might be cotoneaster...not sure.

[42itous.livejournal.com]

That looks like the most likely answer so far -- thank you!

Looks like a cotoneaster to me. You made a very good obervation on the berries in clusters. I over looked that one.

Good! Two concurrent opinions and I'm prepared to call it a cotoneaster.
