Pyracantha 'Soleil dOr' (evergreen - green all year)

Pyracantha is an evergreen shrub, decorative through its flowers, leaves, and fruits, ideal for covering fences or green walls. The plant is frost-resistant and easy to care for. Pyracantha can be planted in the garden almost any time of the year (except during freezing temperatures).

Pyracantha 'Soleil d'Or' is a variety of Pyracantha, a genus of plants from the Rosaceae family, known as burning firethorn or fire hawthorn. This variety is characterized by dense branches and sharp thorns, as well as white flowers and orange fruits that appear in autumn and winter.

The fruits of Pyracantha 'Soleil d'Or' are not traditionally considered edible for humans due to their bitter and astringent taste. However, they can be eaten in small amounts after being cooked and made into jams, jellies, or sauces. It is important to consume only the fruit pulp, as the seeds contain small amounts of cyanide and are not safe for human consumption. The fruits are more suitable for birds and other wild animals, which feed on them without problems.

Some sources claim that Pyracantha fruits have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties due to their content of vitamin C, flavonoids, and tannins. It is important to note that scientific research on the medicinal benefits of Pyracantha fruits is limited, and their use for medicinal purposes is not fully established or widely accepted.
