Evergreen wall or fence shrub with nasty thorns - good for keeping people out! Many varieties - all having white/cream flowers in May/June and then the berries starting to colour up from August onward. Depending upon the season, they can hold their berries right until Christmas and beyond. The birds have quite a bit of say in this matter!
Quite quick growing and will suit full sun or part shade, will also tolerate dry conditions.
Pyracantha Orange Glow and Pyracantha Golden Glow, along with the Golden Charmer and Orange Charmer varieties are the best of those particular colours.
