Description

Dense, spiny, fast growing evergreen hedge with clusters of white flowers in June and masses of bunches of spherical, very colourful berries in autumn and winter. These can be useful food for birds. Excellent form with dark green foliage and freely produced orange-red berries. Shade tolerant. Also excellent for training on a wall of any aspect where a height of 2.7m (9ft) and spread of 3.7m (12ft) can be attained, or for a free standing shrub. Pyracanthas mainly flower then fruit on shoots produced in the previous year, so when pruning retain as many potential flowering shoots as possible.
