Some cotoneasters are horribly weedy, in the sense that they self-seed everywhere. Presumably the birds help to get the seeds so far spread.

But I have one that is both beautiful and does not appear to self-seed, or at least not very much, and I believe I did identify it (as well as one is able with cotoneasters without the microscope etc) as C frigidus, so that may be a good one to grow.
