Pyracantha Mohave

Pyracantha Mohave

Pyracantha ‘Mohave’ is a dense, evergreen, spiny wall shrub often trained as a climber, bearing small dark green leaves and abundant clusters of small white flowers in late spring, followed by showy orange-red berries in autumn that are valued by birds. This climber requires a suitable support to establish and grow. Plant in full sun or partial shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Ideal for wall-side borders, screening and wildlife-friendly planting. Expect an eventual size of about 34m in height and 34m in spread when trained against a suitable support.

This climbing plant has been trained onto a supporting frame to create a neat, well-shaped specimen that is ready for planting. As it grows, new shoots can be guided and secured to continue developing its natural shape.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
