Pyracantha rogersiana, the Asian firethorn, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to western China. Growing to 4 metres (13 ft) tall and broad, it is an evergreen shrub with glossy, narrow leaves, and masses of white flowers followed by small yellow berries 8 mm in diameter. It is grown in gardens, yards, and parks, where it can be used as hedging, wall cover, or in a mixed shrub border.[1][2] The cultivar 'Flava' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]
The seeds are somewhat poisonous if ingested, and may result in vomiting.
