Pyracantha Mohave

Mohave Pyracantha

Mohave firethorn has upright evergreen growth and a generous autumn display of orange-red fruits. White spring flowers precede the berries; place its thorny branches where they can form a screen without crowding paths.

Its structure combines dense branching and upright growth. Growth is fast. Leaf retention varies with winter conditions.

Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide acidic, well-drained soil and maintain even moisture.
