Pyracantha, sometimes called Firethorn, is an evergreen
shrub with small glossy leaves and sharp thorns about 2-3 cms
long.
Clusters of white flowers appear in spring each with five
petals and long stamens.
In autumn the flowers are replaced by bright orange
berries, making this an attractive plant to brighten up walls
or any dull feature of the garden.
This is another shrub that the deer tend to avoid, but the
birds love the berries.
