Firethorn

Pyracantha, commonly known as firethorn (Czech: hlohyně), is an ornamental shrub that enhances our gardens and parks with its vibrant berries, persisting well into winter. Belonging to the Rosaceae family, it is favored by birds as a source of food and shelter. The Latin name is derived from the Greek pyr meaning "fire" and akanthos meaning "thorn".
