Care Guide

Cultivation

Grow in a reasonably fertile, moist but well drained soil in sun or partial shade. Once established can tolerate dryer soils.

Pruning

Pyracantha flowers mainly on shoots produced the previous year, so when pruning try to retain as much two-year-old wood as possible. Prune around mid spring.

Propagation

Pyracantha can be easily propagated from semi-ripe or hardwood cuttings.

Pests

Generally pest-free but may be susceptible to pyracantha leaf-mining moth and woolly aphid pests.

Diseases

May be susceptible to pyracantha scab and fireblight.
