Product Information
Full details
The Pyracantha Mohave Red collection is designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking to establish a robust, year-round security hedge that provides both aesthetic appeal and natural defense. These 6 established 2-3ft plants offer dense evergreen coverage, white spring blooms, and vibrant winter berries, making them an excellent choice for property boundaries or wall screening; however, prospective growers must manage the plant's naturally sharp thorns when pruning or maintaining the hedge area.

FAQs
How many plants do I need for a 3-metre hedge?
This 6-pack is perfectly suited for a 3-metre hedge, as the recommended spacing is 2 plants per metre.
Are the berries safe for consumption?
The berries are primarily for wildlife and visual interest; it is recommended to keep them away from small children and pets.
When is the best time to prune these plants?
Pruning is best performed in late spring or summer after the flowers have faded to maintain the desired shape.
Will these plants survive in the shade?
Pyracantha 'Mohave' is versatile and can thrive in various light conditions, including partial shade and north-facing walls.
Do I need to fertilize my Pyracantha?
While not strictly required in healthy soil, a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring can encourage more vigorous growth and berry production.
Troubleshooting
Plants look wilted shortly after planting
Increase watering frequency, especially during dry spells in the first growing season to ensure the root ball remains moist.
Sparse growth or lack of density
Regularly prune the tips of the branches to stimulate lateral growth and encourage a thicker, more compact hedge structure.
Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, plant your Pyracantha in well-drained soil during the growing season. For a solid, continuous hedge, space the individual plants 50cm apart, equating to 2 plants per metre. During the first growing season, prioritize regular watering to allow the root systems to establish firmly in their new environment. Once established, the shrubs are relatively self-sufficient, though they should be trimmed annually to control height and encourage denser growth. Always wear thick, thorn-resistant gardening gloves and long sleeves when performing maintenance to avoid injury from the plant's natural defense mechanisms.
