I just typed "how to pronounce cotoneaster" into google and the very first pronunciation was kaa·tuh·nee·str. I wrote to tell them they were incorrect and cited your company as the expert.

I went to my local nursery today and had asked about the hedge cotoneaster. I pronounced it like the video but then said, I think that’s right. She corrected me and said it’s actually Cotton Easter. 😂😂😂 And that is how I found this video. I thought I was correct. 🤷🏼‍♀️
