| History | This cultivar was developed by Monrovia Nursery Co. in 1985. It belongs to a large group of shrubs in the Rose family and closely related to both hawthorn and cotoneaster. The genus was classified by Max Roemer of Germany in the mid 19th Century, who named it from the Greek for fire and thorn to describe red fruits and spiny branches. This species was first assigned as Cotoneaster angustifolia by Adrien Franchet, 1834-1900 of the Jardin des Plantes, Paris. It was corrected in the 20th century by Camilio Schneider of Germany. This species is native to China and no doubt reached Franchet through French Jesuits who botanized this new territory sending their discoveries to Paris rather than Kew. |
| Lore | As a member of the same family as apples, pyracantha berries are quite similar albiet smaller. They're edible, although not particularly tasty and have been used to make jelly and even home made wine. |
