Red Firethorn belongs to classic gardening plants and is offered in many varieties. It is a shrub of great growth, upright, evergreen, with sharp thorns, which makes it one of the best protection hedge plants. It has small dark green leaves and impressive flowering in the late spring, with white flowers. The flowers, which literally cover it, are followed by the very decorative orange - red fruits, which remain in the plant throughout autumn and winter. Red Firethorn is extremely durable and adaptable, since it can be grown in almost every soil type, provided it has a neutral or slightly acidic reaction and does not waterlogged. It can be pruned and can be used in both urban and countryside green areas and gardens.
It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the plant, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large shrubs are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
The dominant decorative element of Red Firethorn is its fruit and its color. Below are the varieties of Red Firethorn offered by the 'Kipogeorgiki', along with the color of their fruits:
