Pyracantha (Firethorn)

Pyracantha, commonly known as Firethorn, is a thorny evergreen shrub in the family Rosaceae. It is known for its dense growth, bright green foliage, and abundant clusters of small, white flowers that bloom in spring, followed by vibrant orange or red berries that persist into winter. This plant is often staked or trained against a wall or fence to create an espalier effect. It is popular in gardens and landscapes, especially for its attractive berries and ability to create a natural barrier due to its thorns.
