Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Expensive because it's slow to root - 5 months to root a cutting! A hybrid between Pyracantha crenatoserrata (Chinese firethorn) and Osteomeles subrotunda originating in France in 1922 as a chance hybrid. It's a lovely small shrub with clusters of small white Pyracantha like flowers that smother the plant followed by the coral fruit (from the Pyracantha side of the family). Small dainty, dissected leaves compliment it's size. Has reportedly taken temperatures to -11 °F in Syracuse, NY. It dropped leaves but is still thriving. Thornless.

An interesting, arching cross between Pyracantha crenatoserrata and x Osteomeles subrotunda with small, lobed leaves, deeply cut, and profuse, white flowers followed by pink-red berries. Birds LOVE them. A 3-4' x 4-6', semi-evergreen shrub for a sunny bit of your garden in moist, well-drained soil. Deciduous but frost hardy at the bottom of USDA zone 6 and possibly into zone 5.
