FAQ
- Is this suitable for an intruder-proof hedge? Yes—the large, strong thorns and dense growth form create an effective barrier against people and animals.
- Will it stay evergreen in the UK? Pyracantha Red Column is reliably evergreen in most UK climates.
- How do I plant and care for it? Dig a hole twice the width of the pot. Ensure soil drains well. Water in dry spells for the first year. Light prune after autumn berrying.
Common questions
Bare root plants are field-grown and lifted dormant — the cheapest way to plant a hedge. Pot grown plants have an established root system and can be planted year-round. Root ball plants are mature field-grown plants lifted with a soil ball for instant height.
Pot grown plants can go in the ground at any time of year. Bare root is supplied dormant from November to March, and root ball plants are lifted in that same window.
