Noted for its winter hardiness, Pyracantha angustifolia ‘Yukon Belle’ (Narrowleaf Firethorn) is a compact, thorny, evergreen shrub of dense habit with shiny, lance-shaped, dark green leaves. A profusion of white flowers in tight clusters cover the spiny branches in early to midsummer. They are followed by masses of brilliant berries that ripen to bright orange in fall and persist well into winter. Hungry birds feast on them. Resistant to fire blight, this cultivar is perfect for use as an impenetrable hedge or screen. It can also be grown against a wall or fence.

  • Grows up to 8-10 ft. tall (240-300 cm) and 6-8 ft. wide (180-240 cm).
  • Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Drought and dry soil tolerant.
  • Great as a specimen plant, shrub borders, foundation plantings, barrier hedges, wall-side borders, and cottage gardens.
  • Watch for scab, fireblight, leaf blight and root rot.
