Dense, spiny form with masses of golden-orange berries which contrast well against the dark green foliage. These can be useful food for birds. Its upright habit makes it easy to train against a wall or fence or for a free standing shrub. Shade tolerant. Pyracanthas mainly flower then fruit on shoots produced in the previous year, so when pruning retain as many potential flowering shoots as possible.

HEDGE Trim between May and July. For hedges 1.2 - 2.7m (4 - 9ft). Plant 60cm (2ft) apart.

SHRUB 2.7 x 3.7m (9 x 12ft).

Pruning

Hedging - As a general rule, plants grown for hedging need pruning to encourage side branching. Usually the harder a plant is pruned the bushier it will be. If they are not pruned there is a danger that the hedges will be thin and bare at the base and that the tips of the plants will die back. If the plant is naturally bushy, less or sometimes no pruning will be needed to achieve a dense hedge.

Pyracantha, Golden Charmer: Cut back by about one third the leading and long side shoots and repeat during the second winter.
