out front of the Dollar Store. I haven't looked it up yet, but it is a common landscape bush. Frequent. And what i love is that it THRIVES…the berries…in profusion. No care. Just there.

I think it’s pyracantha. Doesn’t require much water. Birds love to eat the berries. It has vicious thorns which make it challenging to trim…..if it lives in a yard where things are more particular and need trimming. If you want a hedge that is pretty much impassable, pyracantha works beautifully.

Yup…a good one for somewhere you need a wall (unlike the infamous ‘wall’ in our news)…very pretty though and hard to kill too.

yes, a firethorn bush, pyracantha. Got one here right out side the front door. the thorn could kill ya but the birds like it. Considered invasive here but not sure why. I carefully made a wreath from it once. came away bleeding.

Posting a picture is the equal to looking it up. 🙂 It’s a survivor that one.

very spiky weed here in Australia, the birds love it & spread the seeds in disturbed ground

Here in Texas we have possumhaw (which is deciduous) and yaupon (which is evergreen) … both go from shrub to small tree habits if you let them. And though they don’t have quite this many berries, neither do they have thorns! I can never tell them apart unless its winter … ha!

we had that growing up to our second story deck, loved watching the birds get drunk on the berries.
[dad built the house in 1950-ish, so the ‘deck’ was not a fancy thing like you see these days. he grew/worked on bonsai, so they were on that ‘deck’ too]LikeLike
