The Teton Firethorn is a hybrid plant of great vigor and beauty, carrying heavy crops of orange-yellow berries in fall and winter. It has handsome evergreen foliage and beautiful clusters of white flowers in spring. It is fast-growing, and soon covers an unsightly wall or fence with beauty, or makes dense, impenetrable hedges to keep out all kinds of intruders, including deer. It can also be grown at the back of beds as a perfect backdrop.
- Perfect evergreen shrub for covering walls and fences
- Profuse display of orange-red berries in fall and winter
- Masses of white flowers in spring
- Makes impenetrable hedges and barriers
- Resistant to both scab and fire-blight
The Teton Firethorn will grow in a wide range of light conditions, from full sun to light full shade. It is hardy in all the warmer zones, and grows well even in poor soil, being drought resistant once established. It is very resistant to both disfiguring scab and the lethal fire-blight disease, and is avoided by deer. Trim new growth back to just a few inches to keep it neat and close to walls, tying in long stems as needed.
