		Pyracantha is a genus of about 7 species of spiny, evergreen shrubs that have a spreading to erect habit.
		Pyracantha are commonly cultivated in the UK to grow up walls and other places where green coverage is needed but as bonsai, Pyracantha are eminently suitable for growth as erect trees.
		Pyracantha are especially favoured for their year-round broad-leaved foliage, their abundant flowering capabilities and for their numerous fruit in Autumn.

	Laland Pyracantha or Firethorn - Plant of the Week
		Pyracantha is a large, evergreen woody shrub of the rose family that is closely allied to the hawthorns and cotoneasters, yet distinctly different from them.
		The original pyracantha plants made their way from southern Europe to England about 1600 where they were grown as hedges and occasionally as small trees.
		But the main reason for growing pyracantha is not its flowers, but its drooping masses of quarter-inch, orange-red berries that ripen in the fall and persist all winter.

	Pyracantha - HGIC @ Clemson University
		Despite its fierce thorns, pyracantha is an important shrub in the South Carolina landscape.
		Even though pyracantha is resistant to heat and drought, it is a good practice to mulch around the shrub to reduce stress from dry weather.
		Two serious problems on pyracantha are fire blight, a bacterial disease that can kill the plant, and scab, a fungal disease which causes defoliation and turns fruit a dark, sooty color.

		Pyracantha also is afflicted by a fruit-discoloring scab that gives the bright berries a dark, sooty appearance.

	Paghat's Garden: Pyracantha coccinea
		Like apple seeds & cherry pits, pyracantha seeds are toxic, but rumors that the fruit itself is toxic if ever true at all is only true when the fruit is very green.
		I'm sure when the Firethorn was first planted, the trees were small & everything got plenty of sun, but since we've had the place, the ground-level has been turned into an extensive shade-garden, in some spots too dark even for shade-plants.
		If I ever plant a Pyracantha personally, it will be out by the road, & it will be the variety with startlingly yellow-golden berries so that the drupes will really be distinct from the many red-berrying shrubs throughout our gardens.

	Southern Living Gardens: Red Hot for Cold Weather
		Pyracantha is one of those wonderful plants that grows more vigorously if rarely watered and produces more berries if never pruned.
		The thorns can even be seen as an asset if pyracantha is trellised under windows to deter intruders or planted between your yard and that of the neighbor with the rowdy children.
		For birds, however, because of both the protection factor and the abundant winter berries, pyracantha is the ideal habitat.

	Birding Column: Robins at a Pyracantha Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		For a few days a number of cedar waxwings visited the pyracantha along with the robins, and the waxwings were just as voracious in their consumption of the berries as the robins were.
		Also joining the pyracantha party was the hermit thrush, a tiny, delicate bird that creeped around in the underbrush and would suddenly fly up to a berry, pick it off the branch, and then disappear into the shrubbery with its catch.
		As I said, this pyracantha party went on for a couple of weeks, but after a while, there were fewer and fewer berries on the bush, and eventually, there were hardly any berries at all.

	PYRACANTHA, FIRETHORN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Cardinals, wrens, cedar waxwings and other birds which winter in northeast Texas are attracted to the clustered red berries of Pyracantha coccinea, or "scarlet firethorn." Allowed to grow freely, this evergreen shrub will also furnish nesting space, but Pyracantha's principal value to urban gardeners is its ability to grow in narrow spaces.
		Espaliered, or trained against fences and exterior brick walls, Pyracantha can be an asset in limited garden areas and provide winter color as well.
		The deep green leaves are enhanced by small white flowers in the spring and clusters of red berries in the fall.
