  I don't like my Pyracantha at all (inherited in garden). I like how yours is trained. I keep mine for the birds.

  Mine was also already here. It has been a lot of work!

  I love the look of them but wouldn't know where to start.

  Looks good RK. It'll let in lots of light, and gives you a good feature in winter too 
  
  I've seen them cloud pruned quite often. They look superb like that.
  I pass one up north when I go in that direction to walk - it's against the wall of a cottage. I always mean to take a pic, but always forget  

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

  Don't prune ours until the birds have eaten all the lovely yellow berries, it's also lovely in flower in the late spring.

  Here's a better quality shot.
  
  It'll definitely be much easier to maintain like this.
  
  I may do the same to the other side since most of the new growth is on rather old twiggy branches. Lots of dead stuff on that side too, so might as well tidy the whole thing up.
