Pyracantha coccinea, the scarlet firethorn[1] is the European species of firethorn
that has been cultivated in gardens since the late 16th century.[2] The tree has
small white flowers. It produces small, bright red berries. The fruit is bitter and
astringent, making it inedible when raw. The fruit can be cooked to make jellies,
jams, sauces and marmalade. It ranges from southern Europe to western Asia. It has
been introduced to North America and cultivated there as an ornamental plant since
the 18th century.

In England, since the late of 18th century, it was used to cover unsightly walls.

Pyracantha coccinea lalandei[edit]


About 1874 M. Lalande, a nurseryman in Angers, France, selected from seedlings of
P. coccinea an improved form, more freely berrying than the type. A sport has
produced a yellow-berried form. These, and further selections, have largely ousted
the ordinary form from nursery stock.[4]

Hawthorne or prickly Corall tree".
