pyracantha growing on a wall has some dark green glossy leaves and red berries. Half the shrub has smaller leaves light green and grey in colour and no berries. Why the difference in same shrub?

Are the different leaves definitely coming from the same stem as the berried stems? If so, it sounds like a reversion, if not - could be a different plant??? If you don't like the non-berried stems tug them sharply downwards and away from the main brach structure just below the position of the change (taking the meristematic point away) - although a reverting Pyracantha is a new one on me. Is the odd part of the shrub in any different environmental position than the other (more exposed to the wind?)

Hi confused I agree with tutormik. You will often find a stray cotoneaster ,usually a berry dropped by a bird,that has germinated. Just pull it out. cheers pendelli

Illinois pondweed (Potamogeton illinoensis) is a perennial aquatic plant additionally customary as a noxious weed. This flowering submerged plant grows in rivers and lakes. Illinois pondweed has 2 diverse leaves: pointed to obviate-formed underwater foliage and sword- to oval-formed floating leaves.

I suggest that a Cotoneaster has seeded itself immediately adjacent to the Pyracantha
