Hello

I enjoy collecting and growing seeds and recently spotted this attractive evergreen shrub with orange berries at my local supermarket, please could someone identify it for me...



Thanks and have a great weekend

Robin

    Thank you for your replies, the seeds are already chilling in my fridge :-)

    I've read that Pyracantha are self pollinating but may not grow true from seed. Presumably that means I may get some red and yellow varieties and not just orange?

    more than likely it'll be orange, maybe not exactly the same as the parent though.
