Default Wire netting plant

Come across this plant which the owner says is a 'wire netting' plant.
I have never heard of it and wondered if anyone knows the proper name
so I can check it out?


If it has criss-crossing, thin, dark branches and small yellow flowers
it's probably Corokia cotoneaster, which is a NZ native and does remind
you of wire netting! I'd never heard of it either until I saw Chris
Beardshaw recommending it once in one of his programmes. See pic at
