Further Information

You'll see our recommended planting densities for each size and root type listed in the product grid. We suggest that you use these as a guide, taking into consideration how long you're willing to wait to see your finished hedge. As a rough indication bare roots can be planted at anything from 3 to 7 per metre and cell grown between 4 and 6 - the higher densities here would need to be planted in a double staggered row or zig-zag.

For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section.

Pruning Advice

The best time to prune Pyracantha 'Orange Glow' is just after the flowering period in late spring, as you’ll be able to cut back the stems that aren’t producing to give them a helping hand and encourage new growth the following year. Lightly trim the outermost stems to maintain Pyracantha Orange Berries’ appearance, but also keep an eye out for any older stems coming from the centre and trim a few (but not all) to help improve air circulation and prevent diseases.

If your Orange Firethorn has become overgrown or unruly, it can withstand a hard prune, which can be done anytime between March and October. While it may take some time to regain its full splendour, this resilient shrub will bounce back.

Pyracantha Orange Berries ('Orange Glow') Hedge Plants Description

Pyracantha 'Orange Glow' is a striking evergreen shrub that’s gifted with many names. You might also know it as Orange Firethorn, Orange Berries, or Orange Pyracantha because of its spectacular displays of vivid berries that appear from autumn into winter. In late spring, the shrub is adorned with creamy-white, fragrant flowers that transform into these vibrant berries, offering a feast for the eyes and the local wildlife. Orange Pyracantha’s fruits provide essential food for birds in the colder months, while also attracting a plethora of insects and pollinators to your garden.

Growing at a rate of approximately 50cm per year, 'Orange Glow' is fast-growing yet manageable. It’s hardy and tough, making it an excellent choice for creating vibrant, low-maintenance hedges that add colour and character to any landscape.

It thrives in most soil types and is tolerant of sun or partial shade, although it’s not recommended for very windy sites or dense shade. Its network of spiny, armoured stems makes it a fantastic intruder-proof hedge and provides a secure nesting site for small birds.

Discover our pot-grown orange berry Pyracantha plants that are available year-round, and head over to our planting guide for more tips. Looking for a different colour? You can also shop Red and Yellow Pyracantha hedging plants.

Pyracantha Orange Berries ('Orange Glow') Hedge Plants Description Orange Pyracantha, also known as Firethorn, is a dense, spiny evergreen shrub which makes an excellent intruder deterrent. This variety is also chosen for its abundant bright-orange berry clusters that provide colour through autumn into winter, and food for native bird species. In late spring, creamy-white, highly scented flowers bloom profusely across the plant and attract a host of insects and pollinators. It is a tough, hardy plant which grows quite quickly (approx 50cm p.a.) and should be pruned after flowering to expose the spent flowers, which will become berries, to sunshine. We also have Red and Yellow varieties of Pyracantha, as well as an additional variety which we have available in the form of an instant hedging screen, for a ready-grown hedge look but with the added privacy and security of a fence. Pyracantha is very easy to grow in most soils and sun or partial shade but is not suitable for seaside gardens, very dense shade, or very windy sites. The network of armoured stems makes it a great nesting site for small birds - with "breakfast in bed" in Winter when they feast on the ripe berries. We also sell a range of other hedging species with berries, as well as varieties suitable for intruder-proof hedging. See our Pyracantha hedging guide for more information. *Please note that in accordance with DEFRA regulations, we are unable to dispatch this species to anywhere outside of the UK Mainland.

Choose Pyracantha Orange Berries root types

What are root types?

Root types explained.

Bare root
Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Root ball
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Instant
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
