Pyracantha
Pyracantha, also known as Gnome Firethorn, is a large, broadleaf evergreen shrub.. It has narrow, deep green leaves in summer. They become tinged with burgundy in the winter.
Domed clusters of single, white flowers appear on spurs in the late spring on the previous year's wood. The flowers develop into tight clusters of pea-sized orange berries by late summer. The berries persist well into winter.
It is named "firethorn" for the many fierce thorns found on the rigid branches and at the ends of the leaf clusters. Firethorn grows best in full sun, but will tolerate some shade.
