Mohave Firethorn Shrub is a spiny evergreen shrub with oval green leaves. Showy blooms of soft white flowers blanket the plant in spring and huge clusters of fire red berries follow in fall. Best bloom in full sun and sharply draining soil. Mohave is shade and drought tolerant, with resistance to fire blight and scab.
