No matter whether you call it pyracantha or firethorn, one thing we can all agree on is that this plant is as autumnal as it gets. Sure, firethorn offers beautiful white blooms in the spring, but the vibrant red and orange berries in autumn are like nothing else. And if you’re lucky enough to have this plant on your property, you need to know when to prune pyracantha.
Loved by humans and birds alike, pyracantha is a welcome addition to any garden idea - especially if you’re looking to create a wildlife garden. And while firethorn is generally considered to be one of the most low-maintenance outdoor plants out there, they still require a little TLC if you want to ensure both the blooms and berries come back next year.
