Plant the pyracantha in fall or spring. Since it has a bud in its axil the spine occurs in the relative position of a leaf. And they re at their best all fall while so many other plants slide into winter dullness. The flowers are white and produce small round pomes and can be orange to red in color.

It occurs in the axil of a leaf where a branch would normally develop. The sharp thorns on these plants can cut and poke holes in your skin and the small wounds provide an entry point for pathogenic organisms. Scab causes the blossoms and berries to turn black and appear scabby. Pyracantha scab does not seem as serious as fireblight but is very unsightly.

Pyracantha commonly called the firethorn bush is a sprawly rangy shrub. Fruits of this teton cultivar are unusually pale. I have seen some people hack it into hedge shapes of privet like form but really that is an atrocity i couldn t impose upon it. Even the most novice gardener can handle the simple care of firethorn bush.
