Pyracantha f. 'Graberi'

This evergreen shrub is a vigorous grower with an upright, dense habit. Recommended for USDA hardiness zones 6 through 9, it thrives in temperatures between 0°F and 30°F. Its glossy green foliage provides a lush backdrop throughout the year, while fall and winter bring clusters of bright orange-red berries that add visual interest and attract birds. Pyracantha is tolerant of a range of soil types, though it prefers well-drained soil and performs best in full sun to partial shade. This shrub is also deer-resistant, making it a smart choice for gardens prone to browsing wildlife. Mature height can reach up to 12 feet with a spread of 6 to 8 feet. Its thorny branches make it an excellent option for privacy hedges or security barriers.
