Pyracantha 'ORANGE CHARMER' scarlet firethorn
You can grow firethorn as an upright shrub, trim it into a hedge, or shape it. It is not a climber so needs no support, nevertheless we suggest staking young plants to train a terminal leader. It flowers in June and produces berries on 2-years-old wood (previous year’s) so trimming should be done in early to mid-summer to avoid cutting all flowering branches.
It can take almost any soil type but will thrive in fertile, well-drained soil, reaching about 3m high and 1.5m wide. Firethorn withstands pollution and is therefore often planted at motorways, in towns, and near industrial estates. Fully hardy to min. -27°C (USDA zone 5b).
