Description
The Pyracantha 'Mohave' is a cultivar of bush selected for its large, bright orange-red fruits, which are well-coloured and decorative until December. It is a vigorous bushy shrub with sharp thorns and small evergreen leaves, ovate and dark green. Its generous white flowering attracts pollinators in late spring, followed by numerous berries that provide an essential food source for birds during the winter. It is a decorative shrub all year round, ideal for free or defensive hedges. This extremely robust plant tolerates pruning well and adapts to various growing conditions.
Originating from Asia and southern Europe, pyracanthas have given rise to many horticultural varieties. Like cotoneasters, they belong to the rose family. 'Mohave', with its vigorous growth, has an upright, bushy habit that reaches an average height of 3m with a spread of 1m. Its flowering period extends from May to June, depending on the mildness of the climate. Numerous clusters of small pure white flowers appear along the branches in corymbs. This flowering is melliferous and pleasantly scented. It is followed by the formation of bright orange-red berries, wider than those of other varieties. The shiny foliage, broadly ovate and dark green, persists in winter and remains dense. The branches, tinged with reddish-brown, are equipped with formidable thorns about 3 centimetres long, which arch as they age.
Is it too commonly planted, pruned, diseased, or seen? The modern pyracantha is, in any case, a shrub that tolerates any growing conditions and significantly does not suffer from geometric or more or less artistic pruning. A boon for uncultivated or even rocky soils, it brings a touch of luxuriance and colour to neglected gardens and abandoned boundaries while perfectly fulfilling its role as a defender. Perfect for creating defensive hedges, it will draw attention, especially in autumn and winter, with its abundant colourful fruiting while preserving the garden from prying eyes and providing shelter for many small garden-friendly animals. It can grow freely, in the distance, at the corner of a somewhat sad building, or the edge of a natural grove; in these conditions, it will become spectacular, with flowers or fruits. Mix it with other varieties in hedges to play with the different fruit colours and other shrubs such as Cotoneaster, Holly, Elaeagnus, deciduous or evergreen Euonymus, brooms, bay laurel...

Planting and care
Hardy, the 'Mojave' pyracantha thrives in sunny or partially shaded positions and can even tolerate shade in hot climates. Plant it in any well-prepared ordinary soil to aid its establishment. It has no specific soil requirements and is perfectly resistant to summer drought once well established. Water regularly during the first two years, especially during hot and dry periods. This bush requires no other maintenance, except for pruning if necessary, which should be light and carried out after flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
