Pyracantha ‘Red Column’ – Firethorn (Red Berries) 1.25-1.5m tall

Pyracantha is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub with dense, dark-green, glossy leaves and spiny stems. The ‘Orange Glow’ variety has attractive, small, white flowers that emerge in spring to mid-summer, followed by bright red berries in autumn. This hardy shrub will reach a mature height of up to 4m, if unclipped, and should be planted in moist, well-draining soils. Pyracantha is often used to form a defensive barrier that will help to deter unwanted visitors. To do this the plants should be spaced one metre apart and trained onto a wireframe, this framework should be attached to a fence or wall and the stems should then be secured with twine, we recommend twice annual clipping to create a neat/formal effect. Planting Pyracantha this way would create a feature with year-round interest, a popular choice for those who wish to attract wildlife.
