Pyracantha is an evergreen shrub
that is cherished for its spectacular fall and winter display of fruits. It has
the ability to withstand dry conditions. In the spring, clusters of small
flowers will bloom. The berries will begin to change in the fall, their color
going from green to shades of red, orange, or yellow. These berries persist
through winter and into early spring depending on climate and the appetite of
the local bird population. If kept in shady areas the berries will be
understated, but in full sun light the berries will be plentiful. There are varieties available that differ in
size, berry color, and uprightness in form, these plants can get up to eighteen
feet tall, but more typically stay in the four to twelve foot range with equal
spread. Beware, however, this is a thorny plant.
