Firethorn gets its common name from its long, sharp thorns that run along the stems. It's also known as the Scarlet Firethorn or Teton Firethorn. 'Teton' Pyracantha has a distinct vertical growth habit that produces a narrow tapered look without pruning. They have delicate dark green leaves that get covered in little white flower bunches in the spring and summer which mature into abundant yellow-orange ornamental berries in late August and persist into winter. Sometimes you'll notice the berries turn into a red-orange color when grown in the northwestern U.S.
This tree's small size makes it great for use as a starter pre-bonsai or shohin & mame bonsai shapes. It will come in a 4 inch square nursery growing plastic pot.
