Overview
A spiny evergreen shrub that has narrow glossy leaves, a profusion of white flowers in late spring and early summer, followed by a mass of orange-red berries in autumn.

A valuable plant for wildlife, providing shelter, nectar-rich flowers and berries that are a valuable food source for birds.
Features in our show garden by the gift shop and tearoom entrance
Pyracanthas are easy to grow in any fertile soil in sun or partial shade and very tolerant of pollution.
Support: A framework of wires or trellis is advisable to support the plant while young.
Pruning: Prune annually in early to mid-summer (after flowering) to maintain a neat compact habit. Tie in any shoots to extend the framework of wall shrubs, and shorten branches to about 2 or 3 leaves from the base after flowering to expose the berries.
