Best Growing Conditions
Grow in a fertile, well drained soil in full sun or partial shade. In frost prone or exposed locations protect young plants while they establish. Wear thick gloves when pruning; as its common name (Firethorn) suggests, Pyracantha bears long and very sharp thorns. Time to ultimate height 5 to 10 years.
