Pruning & Care
Pruning your Pyracantha is not strictly necessary, unless you are wanting to keep it to a certain height/shape - which if you are growing it into a hedge, is usually the case.
When you first plant your Pyracantha, the plant should be left to grow to its own accord for the first 2 years, so that a good root system can establish and the plant(s) have time to settle down. Pruning must be done at the right time, because if not, it could easily impact the flowering and fruiting system in the following year.
The best time to do any pruning is at the end of the flowering season in the late Spring. You must also ensure you maintain a good airflow around the shrub, as you do not want any diseases getting into your Pyracantha. To ensure this does nothappen, make sure the centre does not get overly dense - trim some outer stems away. Do not hard prune the plant(s) either, as it will make it harder for the plant to recover and be effective/productive.
Planting Guide
- Prepare the soil by mixing in some compost. Dig the hole- this will have to be about twice the width of the root system, but the same depth.
- Remove the plant from its pot by placing one hand on the base of the plant, and the other at the bottom of the pot. Wriggle the pot away gently.
- Untangle the roots a little as they may be clumped together.
- Place the plant into the hole, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the surface of the soil. Follow this with backfilling the hole with your soil mix, and patting down to lightly secure.
- When you're done, thoroughly water the plant. Ensure you regularly water throughout its first year, as the plant needs plenty to be able to settle down, recover, and establish.
