• did someone suggest planting pyracanthus for security purposes on fence boundary?

    I reckon that's what i'll be doing across the back of my garden. the thorns on those plants are epic, also berries for the birds, maybe even some future bird nesting sites too. I just need to get several lines of training wire across the back, six plants x 5 metre coverage = £48 from B&Q would be sufficient. I won't look forward to trimming this once established, those thorns can pierce the toughest gloves.

  • We have a pyracanthus hedge in the front garden (originally to discourage the neighbours kids from using it as a BMX track) with red yellow and orange berries produced at slightly different times. The local blackbirds prefer the yellow ones and won't touch the red until all other food has gone.
