Usually one day, some intrepid robin will give in and figure that it's time to polish them off... and they will literally be gone that fast.<BR/><BR/>I never noticed how much they look like little apples before, by the way. I like that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10768347.post-49206639740133667992008-10-19T20:46:00.000+01:002008-10-19T20:46:00.000+01:00They are edible but very bitter, you can make a ni...They are edible but very bitter, you can make a nice jelly with them/ TyraTYRA Hallsénius Lindhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111758517855490413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10768347.post-34561083778024923872008-10-19T18:46:00.000+01:002008-10-19T18:46:00.000+01:00These are amazing plants to me .. we had them in o...These are amazing plants to me .. we had them in our Dutch garden and the size of the thorns were shocking ! haha .. but the birds seemed to love the climbing shrub form on the brick wall of the courtyard .. nests galore !<BR/>They certainly are interesting plants : )<BR/>JoyCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10768347.post-36924538113562527452008-10-19T18:00:00.000+01:002008-10-19T18:00:00.000+01:00Hiya,I like the idea of Robins scolding ;-)Pyracan...Hiya,<BR/><BR/>I like the idea of Robins scolding ;-)<BR/><BR/>Pyracanthus is also used to keep burglars out with their thorns. (fat chance).<BR/>My berries are usually gone in no time, but my neighbour keeps them all winter, because they are yellow. Birds seem to prefer red. <BR/>BTW, thanks for your help with the site.
