Cotoneaster, Which View Do You Like Best And Why?

Hi, I'm trying to decide a front view for this little tree and just wondered if anyone has an opinion? I personally think view 2 gives the most out of this but just wondered what people think and why. Sorry if it's a bit clattered. Trunk is about 1cm in diameter.

Just by guessing looking at the leaf shape and growing habit ,
it could possibly be,Cotoneaster divaricatus . But there are quite a few upright growing cotoneasters.

Reagards,
Dave

you should base your decision on "front" by the roots, trunk and go from there. If possible zoom into tree with the final size in mind. That way we can see where you are and help you make a decision.

All the views look the same to me! I think that is a Crokia .

Just a guess...

I'm not too sure if it's a cotoneaster now?? haha...I had thought it was a cotoneaster but the leaves don't look anything like one.
It has leaves like a spade (like the ace of spades) but longer.
Actually..what is this haha. I remember the guy at the nursery said it doesn't have much berries but flowers, and the flowers look like stars.
