Pyracantha x 'Teton', ESPALIER

This upright, semi-evergreen shrub features a dense, somewhat thorny habit and is well-suited for creating hedges, screens, or standalone displays. Hardy in USDA Zones 6-9, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soils, provided they are well-draining. Fall color is minimal, yet its standout feature is the vivid clusters of bright orange berries that persist from fall into winter, providing seasonal interest and attracting birds. White flowers appear in late spring to early summer, adding an initial burst of charm. Typically maturing at a height of 8-12 feet with a spread of 6-8 feet, this durable shrub is moderately deer-resistant and is adaptable to urban environments or challenging garden conditions.
