firethorn
Berried ornamental hedge
Firethorn is a thorny evergreen shrub of the genus Pyracantha, cultivated for its dense clusters of bright red, orange, or yellow berries that persist through winter.
The berries attract birds and provide ornamental color when little else is in bloom.
Firethorn is often trained against walls or used as hedging: The firethorn along the fence was covered in orange berries.
