Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Fiery Cascade' is a disease-resistant variety growing 6 to 8 feet tall and 10 feet or wider with an upright, mounding form. It has white spring flowers that are followed by fiery red berries in the fall. Birds love the berries. Leaves are small, dark glossy green, and evergreen. Branches have stiff, sharp thorns. This is a big shrub with a spreading, suckering habit; give it adaquate space and admire its attributes from afar. On the other hand, the branches with either flowers or berries are quite attractive in vases.
