PIP1: Firethorn
Firethorns are evergreen shrubs they belong to the rose family in the pome fruit subgroup. Since the plants belong to the pome fruit family, the fruits look like small apples. The apple fruits, which ripen in the fall, are yellow, red or orange in color.
The species of the genus Firethorn occur from southeastern Europe to southeast Asia.
