The firethorns are all tough, very hardy shrubs which tolerate a wide range of demanding conditions, including shaded and exposed positions, and make dense thorny evergreen growth ideal for intruder-proof hedging or for training on walls to display their profuse and brightly coloured berries. They also make attractive free-standing shrubs, although growth is then often more compact and arching. 'Orange Glow' is a reliable, vigorous form, with dense growth and strong branches covered in autumn with masses of long-lasting berries. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit. Supplied at round 50cms+ tall in 2-3 Litre containers. Pictured top, Autumn berries, and below, Spring blossom.
