In April 2 years ago I planted a 1 metre high pyracantha hedge against a north facing low wall. It flowered and produced lots of berries for the birds but since then - nothing. It did not flower last year at all and there are no signs of budding this year either. Anyone have an explanation? The hedge is about 8 metres long and has put on good growth being about 120cm high or more in some places. It has filled out nicely too.I fed it with an all purpose fertiliser (Blaukorn) in April.Tricia
Ooooh, I was thinking of replacing a 7' high privet, with a pyracanthus, my garden is appros 80' long :o ...i got it measured for a fence quote this week (not cheap) !!! How much did your new hedge cost [if you don't mind me asking]. Any tips for me would be greatly appreciated Thanks Rx
Don't grow them from seed if you want berries.The plants'll grow well but "ll produce few fruits.They are selected clones that have to be propagated by cuttings.
AR - about 35cm. I bought 25 100cm plants at a cost of around £150 including delivery. I wouldn't use the eBay seller again. When I complained that half of them were 80cm or under she told me "we didn't have enough but they'll put on good growth this year anyway"! That wasn't the point - I had paid for 100cm plants - not 80cm plants which she was also selling. There was no suggestion of a refund unless I sent them all back at my own cost. Real customer service - not!!Tricia
